It is extremely light-weight and doesn't chip or scratch. But the only problem is that you can only do it to small parts.

Do u send your parts out for powder coating? I've seen kits in Northern tool. Do you think its something a team could handle on their own? If you do send the parts out to a shop is powdercoating an expensive thing to have done?

Thanks,
