Hi,
my first post here after reading quite some topics.
I would like to get recommendations for the best possible finishing for suspension parts (against corrosion and chipping), subframe, hubs, control arms and similar. Car is only used at the weekends in good weather (not during the winter).
My first idea was, e-coat and then epoxy primer and 2K color. The big companies doing e-coating don't deal with sandblasting, so I have to arrange that but I'm afraid about new rust forming between sandblasting and e-coating. For the last part I'm still in search for a good paint shop. Or is it something I can do in a proper quality at home (never painted with a gun, yet).
The other option would be powder coating, which I was hesitant about because of all the stories I've read about bad quality, hard to repair if chipped, etc. But found a anti-corrosion system, Interpon PZ, using a zinc primer powder which also sounds good because of the galvanic protection.
The issue with both e-coating and powder coating is that I just found out that my subframe was filled with Tectyl around 2000, not sure how that reacts to heat.
Which one would you choose, or is there a better way?
Thanks,
Peter
