How about another "heated" debate: what about powerdercoating torsion
bars? is it flexible/durable enough compared to the paint-dip
process?
That's what a
PC shop usually does for you. They will take care of removing
the old finish.
Either by blasting or chemical.

Re: [FWDLK] Is powder coating a good idea on/for FWDLK wheels?
Somewhere
around the mid-late 80's, I had the window sills of
my car PC'ed in gloss
black, because the painting of the driver's
sill did not hold up to normal
wear and tear.
Now (about 20 years later), I'm seeing that the PC is
starting to
get thin/worn off in the area where my arm extends out of the
door.
I was starting to think about what would be necessary to
restore
its finish.
I was thinking that a new application of PC might
be all that would
be necessary.
True, or does the existing PC need to
be removed, first?
I presume that the PC-shop could do the
removal/preparation
work, right?

the
only way to remove the remaining PC material is a serious sandblasting
and
attendant refinishing of the surface to then proceed to try PC again or
go
back to paint.

Paint is durable, how it was
done OEM, and maintenance / repair is a simple
process. PC is a PITA if you
have to redo it.
