Dash Frame Powdercoat

[kokxville]

I've got everything back from powdercoating today 
Everything looks great 
My advise is just do it,it just looks great and it's much stronger than paint. 

@ 375instroke,
I'm doing this not to have any rough ideas or abuse to my dash or the rest of my charger,but i just want to build it good and solid.There's nothing a bigger pain in the @ss than doing it not right the first time.
When it's done i want to enjoy it,without having worries about some surface scratches.For example your girlfriend is putting her purse on the dash

The first time I read that I immediately thought, "if my girlfirend is putting her purse on your dash, then there are a whole new set of problems here".

Actually, there is a scientific formula to solve this equation:

Girlfriend + Purse + Put On Dash=EX Girlfriend therefore no need to powedercoat!

be careful man - many females have screwed up my car...      i got a high heel through my headliner leaving a hole....       got 8 scratched on the rear package tray from fingernails, my center console got cracked due to a girl straddling it, and the most obvious - footprints on the windshield...    funny how your friends are the ones who notice that kinda thing the next day at school...

Looks like we have a serious stud here on the boards.

You need to remember to use protection......may I suggest a blanket on the hood

A freind of mine once told me: "As long as you only date sleazy women that way you can have a mutual disrespect for each other."

Works for me.

Sorry to bring this topic back on track here but I've noticed something about the powder coating I've had done on some of my parts in regards to finish thickness. I don't know if this is a universal truth but my guy's process leaves the finish thick when it's done in gloss and thin when it's done in semi-gloss. Why, I don't know, but the semi-gloss parts show more detail and flaws and the gloss finishes look quite shiney but are thick and cover a lot of details. In some cases I've had to redrill mounting holes in some of the gloss-finished parts while the semi-gloss parts are fine.

That said it's important that you have your dash done in semi-gloss finish like they did at the factory if you're going to powder coat it, mostly because you don't want the sun glaring off it into your face.

Agreed - I had mine done in semi-gloss black ---  as far as I know powder coatings are all around the same thickness but I could be wrong...

I deal with powder coated part at work and yes the paint can add up and change dimensions.
