I started using it just this year on some restoration projects and the description of "liquid powder coating" seems appropriate.

Retrofitting metal vent lid to later cars (score: 1): Author: "Foster, Stan" <stan.foster@hp.com>; Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 14:50:56 -0400; I am investigating the viability of retrofitting the metal vent cover to the later cars to replace that cheap plastic grille.
