All,
Has anyone tried powder coating on brake drums? I'm tired of having to
re-paint mine every season, the paint burns off. Have tried many types of
high-temp paint, none last. Surface prep isn't the problem. Will
"standard" powder coating hold up to the temperatures, or will I need
high-temp powder coat? My coater can do either but high-temp is expensive.
Yes I suppose I could get scientific about this and measure my actual drum
temps with temperature-indicating paint, but our season doesn't start around
here until April and I'd rather get this done now. Standard powder coat is
cured at 400 deg F which seems higher than race conditions.
Does anyone have actual experience?
