Powder coating early '41

Post by 41powerwagon »

Almost settled on powder coating my truck. Anyone found a powder coat color that matches the early 1941 color?
Also any suggestions on what photo service to use for posting here? I have a lot of pics from the beginning to now and would like to post some.

What, all of it?

My problem with powder coating is it hates sharp edges, like panel edges, and once it is separated from there it will just peel back. It might work well on wheel rims, maybe a compete chassis, but not seen it done successfully on panels.

Anyone else here have any examples, good or bad?

Hi Gordon. I've finally taken the truck to a restoration shop here in Michigan. He is a Dodge fanatic with multiple awards. See 'hemieddie' on Facebook. I got it to a nice spot but dialing it in is beyond my skill set. He feels that it is doable. Just trying to get the proper code for 41 od green.
PS this WILL NOT be a trailer queen.
Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the knowledge and insight I appreciate all of you and yes I'm not done yet.

We want to see pics when it is done then.

No idea of the code for that colour though, sorry

G,Day . As Gordon has said . If it cracks or chips it will let water in and Rust . Just paint with Gillespie or other brand . Then when it get scratched or damaged , it will be easier to fix .2 pack is casonagenice and i would not advise you using that either . Just my 2 cent,s worth . Ray
