 |
|
I have two very different data points regarding powdercoating;
<![if !supportLists]>1) <![endif]>A local builder powdercoated the interior of his RV-8A. He did the powdercoating very early in his build and it came out pretty nice. At final W/B it ended up on the light side so evidently weight wasn’t a big factor. Given this single experience powdercoating the interior may be a viable option.
<![if !supportLists]>2) <![endif]>A long time ago I powdercoated structural components (a-arms) in race cars. One cracked and was not found until after the ensuing crash. Consequently I never powdercoat anything any longer (except non-structural cosmetic things having nothing to do with cars, airplanes, and the like). And this is not meant as a dig in any way to the poster here that owns/runs a powdercoat shop ….. good on ya from one small business owner to another !!
