Why Powder Coat? Powder Coating offers the consumer a superior finish while adding many performance properties such as excellent resistance to corrosion, heat, impact, abrasion, UV rays and extreme weather conditions.

Just like paint except stronger and won't run, drip, and for the most part orange peel.

It's cooked in an oven at 350+ degrees and actually bonds with the metal as opposed to paint which uses a primer to etch into the metal and then the paint is placed on top of the primer.

Although my site is not finished such as chris's site at cecoatings.com

you can check out mine at www.mattsgarage.net

It has a small break down of powder coating and how it works, a couple of examples, and price lists.

It's only been up for about two days so please forgive it look nasty.

If you have any more questions send me a PM, or TPI383 above I'm either one of us can help you.

-Matt
