Rudy,
I asked a fella I know in CA that restores cars for a
living if he uses powder coating. His response was along
the lines, "we have but did not like the way it held up".
He prefered Dupont Emron. I was going to powder coat my
GT6 until he said that.
His present project has a standing offer of one million
dollars when it is finished. So I'm going to take his
word for it.
