    Powder coating vs Spraying

    Is there a proven way to coat the panels other than Powder coating? I'm Leaning towards powder coating but thought I would ask.

    Thanks, Mike

    I'll be using U-POL Raptor, which comes in all sorts of colors, but the least expensive is BLACK.
    It's a two part polyurethane that is used for truck beds.
    I will be using on the back side of my body, but it could be used anywhere including the aluminum panels.
    The attached YOUTUBE is a random review I located:

    Hope This Helps!

    I like Rustoleum self etching primer and then their 'hammered' rattle can paint. It is pretty dang hard and is a lot easier to touch up later if needed because of the surface you get.

    That stuff looks impressive. I was considering taking my body to LineX, but would rather not haul it around, so this may be the solution. Be sure and post your personal experience with its use and application. thanks,
