Powder Coating vs. Painting

[Adam Wood]

Hi guys,

Sorry to intervene but wanted to ask for some research I'm doing.

Would you do the work yourself or would you always get a professional to do it?

Thanks,

Powdercoating needs a lot of specialised kit (electrostatic booth, oven etc) that DIY is out of the question.

For a wet paint finish by the time you factor in the cost of rattle cans it's often cheaper to get somebody to enamel it anyway. It's hard to spray into all a frame's crevices with a rattle can.
