well its not really powder coating without baking your right but its a super hard paint. u put dowwn a base then let it cure then put down two paint coats and a special cleaer coat and let it cure and they say that they have put it on a piece of round aluminum and pounded it flat and it didnt crack. so i think thats the route im goin. scott
very hard paint

What did it cost you to have your trailer powder coated? What kind of prep work did you have to do? I got a boat trailer that's looking pretty sad right now.

They did it for free, but i didn't get to pick the color or when i was going to get it back. It took them about 2 weeks to get it done. The only prep i did was to remove all the parts that couldn't handle 400 degs for 2 hours (the baking process). They did the rest.

Sounds like a good combo. Can you get candy colors?
