Hi all, After reading through, from what I understand, if do galvanized + powder coat will be better and last longer. Just wondering, if use mild steel + galvanized + powder coat, how to know whether did they actually do galvanized for us or not? Coz after that, will put on powder coat, so won't know whether underneath that powder coat layer izit galvanized or not... anyone knows how to check? Just don't want to kena conned later  Also, powder coat means it's not smooth surface but something like orange peel skin surface with a bit of bumps (bumpy surface) right? Hope to get some advice on this... thanks!  |

QUOTE(mhhee @ Jun 5 2012, 02:50 PM) I bet you can't see the galvanized result as below image since it has been covered by the paint. However, may be you can visit the supplier factory to see how they process the galvanization of steel? Powder coated doesn't mean the surface is rough, it can be smooth surface as well like white color powder coating for Bathroom Bi-Fold door. However, powder coating process ensure that the paint of the surface is last longer & durable compared with normal painting process. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for the pic + info... Hmm, guess I'll just have to trust the grill supplier that they galvanized 1st before powder coat the grill, unless I follow them throughout the whole process when they are doing my grills  Ok, so powder coat surface can be smooth... but why izit some powder coat surfaces are a bit rough like orange peel skin? Different ways of processing (longer oven baking time, etc.)? This post has been edited by cheekily: Jun 6 2012, 10:57 AM |

QUOTE(phoenix69 @ Jun 6 2012, 11:40 AM) The option of smooth or the orange peel like are given/open to end user choice when grill supplier powder coat their product. I think its a diffrent coating product. Dunno they use same method or not. QUOTE(mhhee @ Jun 6 2012, 01:31 PM) No idea how they process it but I guess it depends on color, since darker color mostly orange peel skin & light color is smooth surface. Your choice... Thanks for sharing, phoenix69 and mhhee... |
