Well that's what they told me. You might want to try and see what 
you find out.

Re: [MBZ] Powder Coating?

[Larry Turner via Mercedes]

~30 years doesn't sound too bad IMO.I did my 911 lug nuts and they 
came out cosmetically very nice - even using a home based system. They 
didn't hold up well to the pressure from lug wrenches though.  It 
started by breaking through the Coating at the pressure points but 
doesn't seem to have spread to other area.  IMO it is a very strong 
coating system and will last a long time when not exposed to high pressure.


As with any "painting" the surface prep is critical. All of the previous 
coating must be carefully removed for the powder coating to have a 
chance to last a long time.   I'd like to do some more coating but can 
never seem to find the time.


My .02 cents

I just had my Rial wheels redone. The original powder coat was 
from the early 80's and was starting to wear away to an undercoat 
in some places but no scrapes or pealing anywhere. I hope the new 
stuff lasts at least half of that. They look very nice now.
