High Temperature Powder Coating

[TomW]

Anyone out there know of an inexpensive source or person who does high temperature powder coating applications?

I have been researching porcelain enamel coating for restoring Coleman lanterns and found out why the "red" is so expensive to get. The "red" paint/coating had cadinum and a few other things in it that the EPA outlawed a few years ago. The green is no problem, just the red.

I have checked around and found out that all the high temp powder coats are flat finishes..no one seems to make a gloss powder coat that can withstand the heat.

Here is a link to IPE. They do re-porcelaining of vents.

Anything with red pigment is expensive and prone to fade. Probably due to the "good" stuff getting outlawed/restricted. Was looking at red emanelware for the tear - about 10% more than blue/green/yellow.

Automotive paint as well though I don't think they charge you more for a red car - they just average it out. Used to paint bumper fascias - red was never fun.

I'll be putting in an order to these guys soon:

The only gloss hi-temp they have is black. Maybe I'll try this and a "regular" temp green or red and see how they hold up on an old ventilator just for fun.

Just out of curiosity, how do you strip the enamel off of the ventilators?
