powder coating wings ?

[polsta]

came to me when walking the dog, would it be beneficial to powder coat the underside/inside of the front wings ? so it gave them a nice durable coat and beneficial for the inside of the lip and the bottoms in preventtion of future rustng

anyone ever done it or any reason not to,whats the thouhts ?

The wings may not come back the same shape, after being in the oven.

I'm not a massive fan of powder coating. (sits back and awaits the flaming)

As above, more likely to deform than protect anymore than paint/wax protection

Tried it with a bonnet. Looked like Stevie wonder filled it.

And the finish isn't amazing compared to decent paint

I'm on about the inside !!!

But if the oven would deform then that's no good. Even slight warping would ruin the lines

I use David's zinc 182 primer for the inside

More powder coating. I'm scared to move encase Polsta powder coats me


Friend of a friend powder coats bits for me for a drink... which is nice. Although it being free & boredom can lead to this. I ended up selling them very quickly!

Interesting stuff, could maybe be used on inside quarter panels or rear arch walls too ?

Powder costing is both thick and very hard. Great for wheels, diffs etc but not for thin mild steel.

Is there any beneficial preferential treatment to do inside wings ? To then waxoyl over that ?

I am by no means a paint expert. But if you want to protect things the best you can you cannot do it with stuff out of rattle cans, it just doesnt have the chemical bonding properties. You need to use epoxy based products, the way they stick to the metal is totaly different.

Some epoxys if stone chipped down to bare metal will rust at the site of the stone chip, but the bond is so strong that the rust cannot creep under the surounding area. Epoxy is flexible too.

Do some reasearch on Epoxy Mastic 121. This stuff can be brush painted, and doesn't contain isocyanates.
