TheNeedForZ Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Hi all Can someone kindly explain to me what "powdercoating" is? I heard it on TV that it is some sort of paint without solvent and is applied with a lot of heat? What are the pros and cons of powdercoating compared to paint or plating? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Powdered paint is electrostatically attracted/attached to the part. Then the part is heated which melts the paint to the part....that's it in a nutshell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the powder reach areas that were harder to reach with traditional paint spray guns? thnx[/quote'] the answers to your questions are yes. but to the first one, you car would have to be stripped of all materials other than metal and you would have to be comfortable heating you car to over400 degrees. and powder will reach areas hthat are hardto reach with paint.
