[Chevelle-list] RE: POR-15 vs powdercoating

[Dale]

I’ve heard a lot of good things about powder coating but a couple of negatives but maybe it was just a bad experience of an engine builder.  I was going to have some parts done and one engine builder advised against it saying the process built up a layer on the parts and was easily cracked and/or chipped (as opposed to simply being marred like paint) making it almost impossible to touch up.    Is powder coating that susceptible to damage?  With everything from frames to suspension pieces being done, it doesn’t appear so.  Like I said, maybe he just had a bad experience with it or maybe he didn’t like the local power coating establishment. :*)   Dale McIntosh 67 El Camino 1967 Chevelle Facts CD in progress ACES #1709/TC Gold #92
