[Chevelle-list] Best primer - frame/ suspension parts2

[Jim H. Thompson]

I used the Eastwood powder coating kit for my suspension parts. I also used
the Eastwood red primer and chassis black for the frame. The frame needs to
be prepped; I used 3M wheels, cut the rust great. POR will work also but is
a bit messy to work with. POR only requires degreasing and knocking off any
lose rust and paint. I used this on the drive shaft. Will send pics if you
like.

I've never heard of a powdercoat "primer"

I know of some places that zinc plate or galvanize before they apply the
powdercoating though.

The biggest problems with powdercoating is poor prep work (cleaning,
degreasing, etc..) and improper cure time/ temperature.

I powdercoat stuff all the time here at home and get better results than the
stuff I took to the "pros".  Of course, my size capabilities are limited to
what I can fit into the oven in my garage.

correct me if wrong, but there are a couple ways to do the powder coat, one
with a primer powder coat and one without any primer???

i would think the primed way would be better????
