there was a paint change (thanks to EPA) in the late 80's. think back to all the peeling cars from that era. i remeber my mom's Taurus hook looking like an old onion for a LONG time.
From what I understood, powder coating was supposed to be so much better than just painting. It is still touted today as being superior to paint. Must be something very wrong with the metal prep process or something.
powder coating is a process of, in a nut shell, powdered paint is applied wiht static charge then baked in place.
its durable and applies very uniformly. however its more like a plastic shell on the parts. so a chip in the finish happens, then over time water gets in the chip, and begins to lift the finish off the metal. there is not the chemical bond most paint has.
at least this is my understanding of the issue.
to the OP you sure cannot argue with the price!:thThumbsU
