<<As you may know from my previous postings on wheels, I am a great fan
of powercoating. I powdercoated everything possible on my MGB engine
and am very pleased with the results. The bugs and dirt wipe off and
the finish has remained as new after 6,000 miles.>>
John,
I'm looking at powder-coating a lot of parts on my B as well.
I'm most attracted to the corrosion resistance and resistance to
chipping and flaking. When powder-coating first became popular, Car
Craft magazine did an article on it where they coated a pice of
metal, pounded it with a ball-peen hammer, and bent the panel double,
with little if any ill effects on the coating. Do you mind if I ask
what a typical piec cost to powder coat, your cooling fan, for example? Did
you prep the piece first, or just take it off your engine and hand it
to the coaters?
