Default Powder coating

I have not had much luck getting paint to last on the steering hub or the bezel. They are both pot metal. Any reason not to get them powder coated? Not concerned about judging

What are you using for paint? I would use 2 stage urethane.

You could powder coat it. Limited on color options depending on how picky you are. And wont lay out as nice.

I used self etching primer then duplicator satin, like I have on most of the metal parts. Any little bump chips.
Color is easy, satin black

Just didn’t know if it could damage pot metal.

Will talk to powder coasters. They have my front end parts now.

When I use etching primer, I like to put a coat or two of regular primer over it, then paint.....
