Default Re: Powder Coating

Brent Terry totaly rebuilt the front end steering, steering gear and brakes with the new drums on my 29 Tudor in 2005. Brent powder coated ever piece including the steering tube. The results were great plus the coating is very robust compared to paint. That is why decks on most lawnmowers are coated. To clean you can use glass cleaner. Brent had the powder coating process down to a science in 2005 and knows the ends and outs of the process.
One item I will add is there are some fumes from powder coating that are dangerous particularly if you over heat the process. Also for a powder coated piece that one may later weld do so in a well ventalated area.
