What is the difference in powercoating (hope i am saying this right) and going to an auto paint business and having the pieces painted. My sons used trx90 are white and I really want to paint them another color. Please tell me how to do this.
thanks for the help

Powder is roughy 10 times more durable then any standard paint. Its more chip and scratch resistant, holds up better then paint in most applications etc.

It is also a more efficient way to have metal coated. By the time primer dries in the painting process, a powder coated part is ready for service.

On average, 1 coat of powder is equal to 6 or 8 coats of paint. Powder is more flexible then standard paint, adheres better to metal and IMO looks 100 times better then painted items.
