Re: Factory powdercoated chassis

Hi All

I must admit I like the look of powdercoated finishes but the one major draw back is that it is OK as long as no holes have to be drilled after the coating has been done or that the finish does not get scratched right through.

Once the surface integrity has been damaged and corrosion gets in it creeps under the surface and after some time the powder coating flakes off in sheets.

Also very difficult to refinish if needed.
