I wanted to paint some of my lift parts then I found out that they are powder coated from the factory.
So what do you guys think, would painted stuff look and last a while compared to powder coating? I had a friend years ago that did something like electroplating to metal. He would rub them down with a chemical then attach a wire to stuff and the paint would only adhere to the charged metal. Is powder coating so expensive that I will choose to paint instead?
I've never powder coated anything so I have no idea of what costs to compare.
