I don't think PC will hold up on the header, as PC is like a plastic coating.
I had my frame sandblasted first, then powder coated. It will need to be PC'd
soon after (within 24 hours) the frame is blasted. I paid $300 to have the
frame done (not the suspension parts these will be extra). But first
everything that was painted black on the car was sandblasted for $300.
Personally I think PC IS the way to go!

Subject: Powder Coating
I may have the opportunity to have my TR6 frame and exhaust header powder
coated. I have heard the term, powdercoating, and while I think I know sort
of what it is I really don't know for sure. Is this something I should do
and what type of preparation of the frame and header is required? What
would I expect to pay? Are there other parts that I should consider? Any
comments would be appreciated.
