base clear over powder coat?

[elitecustombody]

are you sure you sprayed over powdercoat? You can do a tack coat with accelerator in clear ,let it flash 10-15 minutes following with wet coat.

If i remember right the car f-bomb had its body powdercoated before the body work was done. So i dont see any problems with it. Good luck.

Okay, I am not as experienced as many here, but I am also not shy so I will ask, "Why paint clear over powder coat?". I have had frames and suspension parts clear coated and they looked great. And now you can get just about any color and sheen you want. Powder coating is much more durable than paint, right? Why put a lighter duty finish over a heavy duty finish?

Unless... paint can be cut and polished, but I do not know if powder coating can? Is it for sheen and mirror smooth finish? (If so, maybe I am smarter than I think! )

Larry you're absolutely right, powdercoating is alot more durable than paint,and to answer your question, it can be sanded and polished to mirror finish
