1 day turn around? Our sponsor can sometimes do it in 1 day, but they generally tell us it will take about 2-3, especially depending on what kind of jobs they have. 1 day is excellent if you can find it.
We spraypainted a few of our parts, and they look horrible in comparison to our powdercoated frame and other pieces. The pain comes off extremely easily, isn't as bright and shiny, and it doesn't even hide the finish. It's hard to find a better process than powdercoating.
Does anyone have experience with car paints or anything similar on an FRC robot?
