see i want my t2 wheels powder coated black because my car is black this is a good topic wanted to know this stuff for the long run

if you could see the powdercoated boat parts I have to fix because of the

oxidation you would change your tune.



Maybe powdercoat on something that sits in a garage, but I have seen

how powdercoat survives in a harsh situation, and its not pretty

and certainly no more durable then paint.



Maybe more durable then some spray can paint, but not properly applied

and cured epoxies and polyurethanes.

well this is from my presonal experince



maybe the powder coating was done shitty, shitty alluminum, or poor quality of powder.



who knows, but it is still some type of paint right. so y would you be suprized if it fucks up like regular paint?



do u think paint would of lasted as long as powder coating? probly not

Powerdercoat is a resin, same as an epoxy.

powdercoat is a powder, not a resin, it gets sprayed on, but

its dry, electicity is involved and then its baked. Not sure

of the exact details, but its not a resin.



The powdercoating I come across isnt done by one person, or

even by one company, they come from different companies

in different states. And yes, I have seen painted parts

last much longer then powdercoated parts.



Im talking in a marine enviorment, which is a harsh

one, in a household garage neither paint nor powdercoat

is superior. Personally I would rather have something that can

be easily repaired if need be.



When powdercoating goes it comes off in sheets, its also

very hard to sandblast again to redo.
