Looking for Powder Coating/Painting
Hey, fellow lake lovers!
I have a steel roof rack faring I need painted/powder coated. Two questions: 1. if I paint myself, what should I use? 2. Is there someone here who does painting/powder coating who might offer me a deal? It's around 24" x 6". Thanks! |

Is it painted already?
Any hardware store sells cans of spray powder coating paint. Simple. Or here: LINK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWweLoOqk9s |

PS I got a quote of ~$30 to powder coat locally, but am I right in thinking "powder coat" essentially means textured? Sent from my Moto G (5S) Plus using Tapatalk |

Powder coating attaches the color to the metal using an electrical charge. It is more durable than paint. I agree, $30 is cheap for powder coating.

I spoke to the fab company, and they said they usually only get 6-8 months out of Krylon. I'll look into that powder coating--thanks, all.
