I have a large parrot.his cage is powder coated.He can crush a walnut
easily, yet his cage looks as new as the day it was bought.I know this is
not about Chevelles, but it serves a point on how durable Powder Coating is.
Allied Powder Coating in Houston, does more pool side patio furniture for
all the big hotels. I had a 12 bolt rear end done in black and so far so
good. I wondered about an engine, but the owner was not pleased with high
temp applications with powder coating.

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. :*)
