Powdercoating

[69 Short Fleet]

I've had parts powdered on my truck and they came out very well... hood hinges/tailgate hinges/hood strikerplate. They do have to be prepped right down to bare metal and it depends on the guy doing it for quality. Any reputable shop shd have chemical bath tanks for final cleaning of the metal for it to be powdercoated. The painter who did my stuff mentioned you shd. not even touch the part with bare hands after its prepped as it can contaminate the part. The shop that did my stuff used to have a contract with Western Star (tractor trailers) and could not do the very small parts as they would get lost in the dip tanks. As C-downs mentioned make sure you use a reputable place and look at the parts that are ready to be picked up by other customers. Getting powder off to be redone can be a real hassle. Doug
