Anyone ever powder coat thier dash frame to match the black suede color/texture?

I got mine done in Semi-Flat

I just ordered a pint of black suede from Mopaint.  About 100.00 with shipping.  Ouch.

UPDATE:  and I'm still waiting for it.  Feb 3 09

Anyone know if they have a suede texture powdercoat?  I will call around and see what I can find out...

I am sure they do. I will talk to some of my powder suppliers. Mike

That is what I did for mine and it came out great.  Not cheap, not fast but a real nice product like all of the Mopaints stuff.

Why do you want to powdercoat it?  Paint all of the frame flat black and suede the top and you are done in a Saturday.

Powder coat is what we use on lighting poles.

I did mine but I didn't like the texture myself so its just semi-flat.
I like it but for all the headache it was to come out nice (4 times in the shop plus reblasting in between) I think paint would be a better/cheaper option. More correct too if that's your thing.

Brought my dash frame to get it powdercoated  last week.It has a nice surface and it won´t scratch or damage as quickly then paint.

I don't think anything was powdercoated from the factory. I'm sure it was painted.

That is ture and it is not the medium that makes it correct, it is the suede texture of the correct paint that make the frame look right.

[lexxman]

Ok,so to get the suede texture?Is there a special paint to buy?

[runningman]

Here is a pic of powder coated dash I found on Moparts.  How close does this look to the suede texture?

I've got 4 cars 40 to 45 years old, that haven't been treated any where as nicely as we treat our cars today, and the dashes look fine.  What kind of abuse do you plan for your dash to withstand?
