powder coating out drives?
 

has anyone doe this ? and how is it holding up?

Prime and paint. I had a set powder coated, the coating would peel off down to the primer.

might want to try using a different powder coater next time :party-smiley-004:

It's been discussed on here before. General concensus is it works, but you need to empty the drive before PC'ing & baking it.

I prefer paint. I had mine done at the local body shop and they turned out fantastic.

brian do you think they hold up better than paint ?

Mine were painted when I got the boat and have held up just fine... plus, they're easy to touch up when needed. Good luck either way.

paint ......I had some PC and any corrosion will continue .. gassing ....paint is best

i do powder coating. i have never done my drive cause of having to tear it down. but have done my transom housing and anything i could. holds
up great. been on for years

what kind of durable paint would you recommend? if done by a body shop.
