Powder coated control panels?
(1/2) > >>
Popcorrin:
I have seen this talked about before and I was wondering exactly how this was done.  Is there some special type of paint that is used to do this or is it more of a process?

Poweder coating is precisely that.  A special gun/applicator is used to coat the material in a fine powder.  this is then placed in a sort of oven where it is baked and the powder cures.  Typical finish is VERY VERY durable and usually very shiney too.  Although I would imagine you can get 'matt' finishes as you can with paint

they do have faux powder coating spray paints, that have a good textured surface....not the same though.

Powder coating equipment is available at Harbor Freight.

Here's a $60 "Powder Coating System" and if you put "powder coat" in the search box, you'll come up with all kinds of stuff including an oven
