[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 387990, member: 1780"] Found this article stating temperature must remain below 350 degrees to be safe. I'm gonna ask him tomorrow if he has some way of powdering at a lower temperature. If they can give 350 or under a go, I'll probably let him to do it. [url=http://www.eatonsprings.com/powdercoating.htm]http://www.eatonsprings.com/powdercoating.htm[/url] And here's a quote that's pro-powder coating I found from another forum. Relates more to the temps Nick described relating to annealing of the spring steel. "Powder coat is more flexible than paint or chrome. As far as the heating changing the spring characteristics, it takes much more than 350 F to do that. Depending on the steel alloy it is more like 1600 degrees. I can consult some engineering data if need be but the heat margin is very wide between what it takes to cure the powder and what it takes to "soften" the steel. " [/QUOTE]
