spray paint across powder coat?

Post by hendre »

I think spray paint looks much better then powder coat (allthough the latter is more durable) but I'm stuck with a project which has 75% powder coated parts. Does anybody know if it is possible to put a spray paint across powdercoat (with a special bonding layer)? :?:

I think enamel paint would stick OK...

I'd quite like to paint my frame one day and apparently it costs a lot to have powder coating removed.

had word from another forum that modern powder coats (multiple applications) are much different from the early types (only heavy duty industrial coatings). Normal paint will stick to modern coats nicely and many professionals even use as the first base coat because it is so durable. If you're not sure you can alway spray a bonding primer across the powder coat first.
