I not a real fan of the white powder coating that Van's uses. So, last night my neighbor Tim Plasek was able to powder coat the inside door handles a nice satin black. His Home Based Company is Spring Powder Coating. Tim did the previous powder coating on the control sticks, exterior steps, tie down rings, and cabin center brace. Since he works out of his garage, he let me observe. He removed all the original powder coat the night before by sand blasting. The powder is a very fine material and adheres by an electrical charge. The positive charged powder is sprayed onto the negatively charged part. It is then baked to create a hard shell. Tim first applied a primer powder coat before the final color coating. I found it to be a very interesting process.
