Powder Coating heat
Discussion
Hi, I would use Rust-Oleum. The reason being it is available in exactly the correct colour, grey white. I will look up the RAL number. Do it yourself, it dries beautifully smooth.
The protective properties of powder coating now known to be imperfect, hence rusty chassis and wishbones all over the place.
There are a million views on preferred paint, but only one, as far as I am aware, in the correct colour.
On your question, temperatures are up around 200C. So you could cook a chicken. They may survive, rubber can go pretty hot and survive, but on the edge there… in my view.

Hi Al
I would say almost certainly yes. For powder coating to be effective you end to get the item up to 180C. and hold it there for about 10mins. I can't categorically say this will affect the rubber in the bushing but I think it's highly likely.
Why are you powder coating? You would normally powder coat media blasted bare metal but having the bush in will make this difficult. Why not wire brush and put a high zinc paint followed by a chassis paint or 2 pack epoxy paint instead.
Just to say, I'm not a professional but I do quite a lot of powder coating using an Eastwood gun and a large domestic oven I got from Fleabay.
Hope this helps

Any Rust-Oleum product in particular do you recommend Nic? ThanksThe protective properties of powder coating now known to be imperfect, hence rusty chassis and wishbones all over the place.

Plus undercoat of your choice. I like to put a little thinners with the top coat, but purely personal.
This stuff works to touch up anywhere in the chassis, as it matches exactly.
If you want to get the old powder coat off, I use an air tool with sanding disc, 2 inch diameter. Brilliant.

Just reading the details on the Rawlings site and it says direct to rust, no undercoat necessary?This stuff works to touch up anywhere in the chassis, as it matches exactly.
