But I question why only one color powder coat ? Are you doing it
yourself ? if you are then its easy to do several colors, it just takes
more time. You can use heat proof tape (Eastwoods has it but I am sure
others do to for a lot less money) and/or aluminium foil to mask off
areas Then partially cook the first color, remove the tape, mask off the
areas already coated and re-shoot. This time do a full cure. Remove the
tape from the powder coated part prior to doing a full cure or it will
leave marks in the powder, that is the tricky part to do it without
knocking off powder that you just shot.
If a shop is doing it for you then I can understand the cost reasons for
only one color, so scuff it up and shoot some paint on it. I have done
that when I didn't have the powder color I wanted and it worked just fine.
