Powder Coating verse Painting Metal

Guzzetta · 05/01/2012, 10:49 AM

Looking for some advice. I have fabricated a couple of brackets to support my lighting. Would panting this with a few coats of Rustloem be enough? Or would powder coating be the better option. As always, money isn't just falling out of
My pockets.

Thanks in advance

I would paint. Powder coating is more for items in the elements of sun, rain, salt etc. That's why a lot of car wheels and boat items are powder coated and not painted. For your light bracket rustoleum will be just as good and cheaper..
