Re: Powdercoat on body exterior?
The black on the underside is probably an epoxy or hybrid (epoxy / polyester
blend). These chemistries can be cured as low as 280f. The chemistries
required to stand up to UV require a hotter cure (polyesters, acrylics). It
sound like 'the shop' knows what he is doing.
Just a note that most all metallics require a clearcoat to protect the
coating. A good example of powder applications would be aluminum wheels
where there is a primer (optional for filling shot blast and adhesion) a
basecoat powder/ liquid metallic, then a clearcoat. If you noticed some
wheels have paint only in the windows and the face is clear over aluminum.
This requires machining after color to cut the face and remove the coating
on the face.
Any questions regarding powder coating please let me know.
