Default Powder coating body panels?
Anybody ever see somebody powder coat all of the body panels off a car or truck?

Too expensive?

No ovens big enough?

Doesn't last?

Twice as expensive as paint?

Ten times as expensive as paint?

Well PJ powder coats all their trailers and they arent much more expensive than a painted trailer so i dont think it would be much more expensive. Just my .02.

We powder coated some wheels and they didn't hold up worth a damn. Scuffed every time they touched anything.
