never thought about having my underneath powdercoated until now. I like the idea, are there any disadvantages? does it go on in lieu of paint or on top of paint?

You would have to put the whole car in an oven to bake it on and it would go on instead of paint. But, would the high temperatures warp your body panels?

I'm having a '68 totally restored. In 2 days the guy is cleaning and painting my undercariage. This guy does very good work so I feel pretty good about the quality of work I'll get. I think I'll just stik with the plan and have it painted. thanks for the input.... damn, that's gotta some big a_ _ oven.

It can be done with heat lamps (according to the Eastwood catalog) Not sure how hot it has to get to cure. Typically done to heay parts like frames and suspension parts.

A friend owns a powdercoating business, he has a bigass oven that's something like 40' long and 12' wide or some ungodly size. Hate to see the gas bill on that.

He says he sandblasts everything first. And I think he said the only way to get it off is blasting too.

I think the temp has to be 400-degrees and above. That's the reason you can actually do powdercoating in your home oven (small items, obviously).

home oven? "Honey could you grab me a beer from the fridge... and check on my 10-bolt rear end cover, should be 'bout done"
