powder coat ..or ..paint???

[Dusk Blue Z]

Devcon makes a metallic 2 part epoxy that will take the heat during the bake cycle and still attract powder during the coat process. You can use this to fill any low spots or pitting. I think the operator has much to do with the way the parts look when done, thicker is not always better. I had some pieces done that you can still easily see the part numbers.
