I had my bench and rear seat frames powder coated. I did not have any issues.

I have a large enough oven here at my shop to powder coat everything from dash frames to rear end housings. Typically I cook at 350 degrees, you will not have any issues with seat frames. The parts that look bare metal are exactly that powder coated with flat clear and the steering column is a suede powder.

Thx brother.
I'm going to take this opportunity to beg for forgiveness for not posting more on this site, I've been on e-bodies.org for a while now, unfortunately Alan Gallant found the website and completely polluted it like he tried to do here 4-5 years ago when he was ran out and wouldn't post again. The owner of e-bodies.com Cody Reich and his "Administrator" Dave Witt is a huge Alan fan for his prolific posting and Cody banned me indefinitely for smacking Alan in the mouth for yet another incorrect comment he made. I have never had any issue with anyone in this hobby and have always tried to help anyone I can, yet, I'm banned from Cody's website thx to him. And I'm cool with it, I will never post there again.
If the MOPARTS members don't mind, I would like to be more active here like I was in the recent past.

Mike, is that 8 3/4 center section just blasted and clear powder coated? I've got one to do soon and yours looks good. Is there a certain clear that works better than others? I think the powdercoater I've used in the past gets a lot of his powders from Caswel Plating.
As far as the OPs question. I had my Dart convertible seat frames powdercoated and they turned out great. Yes, the center section is bare metal and powder coated with flat clear. All these parts have also been powder coated, I had a different process for the rear brake backing plates to simulate the super dark phosphate finish. All if these parts are being installed on a customers pink AAR we have in the shop.

The parts that look bare metal are exactly that powder coated with flat clear and the steering column is a suede powder. Mike, your work looks awesome. Is powder coating standard procedure on your restorations, or is it by customer request? I see a k-member hanging in one of your pictures. Does the coating cover up the date code? I have a friend who had his Cuda k-member coated a few years back and he had a problem getting some of the bolts to pass through the holes as their diameter became smaller. Looks like there is an art to getting the right amount on a given part. Hey Billy, I apologize for knocking this thread off course a bit. But I am curious about powder coating as I know zilch about the process.

But I am curious about powder coating as I know zilch about the process. Yes, I am doing this on all our correct customer restorations in house, the process is so superior than even a catalyzed paint. Since I refuse to paint parts that were originally bare metal, the flat clear gives me the longevity of the finish I'm looking for. I don't have any issues burying part numbers or powder build up even in threaded holes. Your commercial powder coaters tend to apply way more powder build than I do here, I don't want the black parts to look powder coated nor do I want to be able to see the clear powder on the bare metal parts.

Thanks for coming back to share your wisdom, Mike. You and your BE&A business was a big plus to the mopar community. I’m not one to just drink the Koolaid just because someone has an agenda and owns the website. And I certainly don’t like truths being hidden because you know someone. Your reputation stands own its own merit. I got bored with that site as well. I’ve had some issues with THEM. I won’t get into it here. If I want to play politics, I’ll watch those idiots we call politicians on tv. GLAD YOUR BACK. Amen to that brother.

These parts just came out of the oven for a local customer that dropped off his dash frame, steering column and all the associated parts. Suede on some and 80%ish gloss on the others. They were dropped off yesterday and will be done tomorrow. Al is a local customer, here is his column I powder coated for his 74 Challenger, great job Al.
