Anybody ever heard of powder coating a hopper? I'm fixin to replace material cylinders and figured if I'm gonna have everything apart I'm gonna make it look like new when I put it back together. I know a guy that powder coats and the hopper will fit in his oven after I take it apart. I think it would stand up to the elements better than paint. What do y'all think?

I dont know but if you do it will you please take some picture of everything?

My Line Dragons are powder coated it makes them super easy to clean up. the powder coat makes it so smooth that the concrete can't stick to them. I think if you do powder coat the hopper you will like it. Let us know. Post a pic.

I would do it. Powdercoating holds up much better to oil, grease, wear and doesn't go all 'mooshy' like normal paint does because the high alkali solution concrete is.
Or how 'bout hard chroming it like the material cylinders are? :D

Thats a good idea put up some pics when you get it done

powder coating will defo look good but has a bad name for chipping off easy good luck mate

personally i wouldn't. time on the job =$$$$$ 

a friend of mine has painted the hoppers with an American product called LIC30. It is an acrylic enamel and he reckons it is brilliant. You can hit it with a hammer without chipping.
