I have just posted this on the Vansairforce Forum but thought I would
ask this knowledgeable crowd.
I'm at the point where I need to do something with the TW stinger
(spring) and bracket but I'm not sure what.
Realizing that the TW spring will see some abuse (rocks, grass, dirt,
etc) and get scratched, dented, and what have you. Should I paint the
thing or have it powder coated?
What is the best form of protection?
(For the record, I have already spoken to an IA about baking the TW
spring and he doesn't think it will be an issue.)
Thanks for the help.
Bill

Bill,
Powder coating is just another form of painting. The application technique
is the difference. The applied product is still a paint. Like liquid
applied coatings, a powder coating can be quite brittle and susceptible to
chipping . The performance criteria you are looking for is "impact
resistance" wither it is a powder coating or a liquid applied coating.
Suggestion: consider one of the "bumper coatings" for automobile facades to
get resistance to chipping from impacts of runway debris.

Bill I used a product for the undercarriage of my 1950 pickup truck. It is
self leveling and applied with a brush. It is called POR15. Auto
restoration groups have it. It is flexible and forms a strong bond. It can
be applied over rust and will not rust again as it seals out moisture and
air.

I used the POR15 on my kit car. Great stuff, but it's not UV stable. (It's
much heavier than paint.)
