    Powder Coating & Stainless, Alum, Chrome???

     



    Hello Everyone, Can powder coating be applied over stainless steel, aluminum &/or chrome??? Now I guess chrome can be sand blasted off if it can't be applied over it, right??? Thanks Bill

    Shouldn't be a problem on aluminum.
    Stainless steel either.

    I've been running a couple of aluminum intake manifolds - one for about 12 years - that are powder coated black.
    They still look good.

    Same deal with some interior aluminum parts I made and had powdered black.

    Pat's advice about hitting the chrome with 320 gritshould work fine.
    Better yet may be taking the piece to a chrome tank and having it stripped.
    Costs should be minimal since there's no polishing or other chrome plating preparatory work to be done.
