What is the difference between a normal paint job and a powder coat and which one is better????
I was looking for a Bow (for archery), it is a Hoyt Trykon Sport and some of the paint options it come with are called for example "white powder coat" and i dont know what that means… is it better then a normal sort of paint or worse and will it look wierd comp[ared to it????
First of all, remember that you cannot powder coat over plastic or wood. Powder coat is actually like applying a plastic dust via electrical charge to metal. You then bake the part in question at a temperature until it "flows" and becomes shiny. After it cools, powder coat is exceptionally chip resistant, and advantage over many paints.
If I were you, I would apply a good paint such as "Duracoat" to your bow, or any epoxy paint. This will be 2 part paint, you have to mix it before using it. It then ‘sets" and becomes pretty tough. You do have to have a small paint gun for this, like an air brush, and you will need a small compressor. You might be able to obtain these at Harbor Freight (online or local) for a decent price.
You can check out people using duracoat on youtube to see how this works. People are saying this is about as good as you can get, very tough and nice looking.
generally speaking, a powder coat finish is a baked on finish that is stronger than an enamel paint. It is what you would generally see with various outdoor railings, roof hatches, ladders, etc. Most powder coat finished are a clear glossy finish that will have a sheen. I would prefer powder coating because of its durability.
