No idea, how it gonna look with powder coating.
Need some proto
from my (limited) experience, a nice powder coat will look the same as an e-coat. it'll be thicker and stronger than e-coating though.
Yes, powder coating is generally thicker than E-coating. Both of them are electrostatically applied and cured under heat, tho.
There are many different finishes and materials of powder coating.
What we're gonna use is a new, according to the factory, finish called "skin-like powder coating".
Top left is silver anodizing. Bottom right is the skin-like powder coating. The right side is the regular powder coating.
As you can see, the new powder coating finish is very smooth while still matte. I really like the look and feel of it.
