Would it be better to get a car repainted or get it powder coated?
for a 99-00 civic?

Thanx

 

powdercoating a whole car?? wow
i would do that .. sounds expensive and powdercoating only sticks to metal.. so you still world have to paint the bumpers etc...

 

ummm, painted? Why would you spend that kind of money to powder coat your car? Just paint it imo. BTW, nice avatar.

 

best thread evaR!!

 

that is the question would powder coating be better than paintin
as far a washin and sun.

 

Haha I think you should powdercoat your car it would be one of a kind do it do it.

 

where can i go and how much do you think it would cost

 

Actually, most of the newer Jeep Grand Cherokee's (sp) are powder coated and alot of higher end autos as well.

Bumpers and all plastics are usually still painted, but it is possible to powder coat other materials. I have seen kitchen cabinet doors made of wood that have been powder coated. All you need is a conductive primer and a low cure temperature, very flexable coating for plastics.

Its not a very good choice to redo a car and have it powder coated as the car would have to be totally disassembled so the metal could be pretreated.

To do your wheels or calipers or shift knobs, is one thing, but a Whole CAR, I wouldn't.

 

What he said just paint it.

 

Never heard of powder coating a car.
