I was just recently told something that has totally changed my mind about powdercoating ... and when you think about it for 3-seconds, it makes total sense.
If you get a chip on something that's been powdercoated and rust starts to invade the metal, you have no way of getting to the rust and eventually you've got a real nightmare on your hands!
In order to get to the rust, you have to remove the powdercoat and that's a nightmare in itself ... and if you don't get to it all, the rust keeps traveling. Have you ever seen a big rig or utility truck that had a bumper all rotted to no end? THAT was powdercoated.
I guess for show vehicles powdercoating is cool ... but for a regular driver, forget it.
