Will powder coated metal patio furniture scrape a painted pool deck?
Q. When sliding the chairs in and out around the table, will the bottoms/legs scratch a painted concrete patio? We are going back and forth on whether or not to buy a new metal patio set and need to know from people who have this situation...ASAP!

A. Yes, the powder coating and the metal are both harder than the paint. You might be able to glue some kind of slider on the legs though.

Metal furniture: Paint Over Powder Coating?
Q. I would like to paint over some metal furniture that currently has a powder coating. Can this be easily done? What is involved? What kind of paint works best?
Asked by Tom C - Tue May 6 15:08:37 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I did it to my patio set which was powder coated and it is time consuming but can be done. First, inspect all of the joints, sometimes they use welds that rust and if that is the case wire brush off any loose pieces. Use a good cleaner and make certain any grease or dirt is removed prior to priming. I used the Rustoleum rust encapsulating and resisting primer even though my set is aluminum because the welds were all rusted. Then I used the Rustoleum metal paint and I chose the Textured Wrought Iron Black because the powder coating I went over had a pebbled texture and I didn't want to sand. I love it because it looks like new years later, doesn't rust and can be washed off with a hose. BTW, I do NOT recommend the Hammerite products,… [cont.]

Turning solid metal into powder metal.?
Q. What would be a relatively easy way to turn solid metals (such as aluminum and magnesium) into powder form (relatively fine)? Thanks.
Asked by Nate - Tue Sep 15 00:17:13 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Ball mill, if you are dealing with only small amounts under few pounds at a time. It would be cheaper to buy powder metal. With out know your experience, Remember that aluminum and magnesium are explosive in powder form and only takes a small spark. Magnesium can not be put out with water. If you put water on burning magnesium it will make it worse. Keep a tub of sand to cover the burning magnesium where you are working.

Asked by f.joneschef - Fri Jan 30 10:21:57 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I assisted in powder coating one of my race car chassis'. How thick to apply it depends on how thick you want the finish. There are some items that can be coated up to 20 mils!!! if you have an intricate piece the details are less apparent and corners and such are softened. Usually they measure the thickness in Mil's Less than 1 mil and you will likely have pin holes in your finish. You can go fairly thick with the stuff its just harder to get a uniform finish. 2-3 mils is what is recommend. Its tough to figure out the thickness of a Mil, but if you go to home depot and look at masking plastic, look for 3 mil plastic and just try to gauge it off of that. It is not really all that thick.

Can Enamel powder that is normally used for glass be used to fire on metal,such as copper or steel?
Q. Just wondering what the difference is between the two.
Asked by mslogic - Mon Oct 12 20:18:54 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. No. The difference is the COE (Coefficient of Expansion) which is how much the material changes size with changes of temperature. If the COE's do not match within a certain amount, the glazes will pop off on initial cooling, or crack/craze or come off later like in heating by the sun.

Which is stronger - metal or chrome?
Q. I am trying to decide between 2 different dining sets, one has chairs and a table that have a "silver powder coated metal base" and the other has chairs and table with a "chrome base". Would one of these materials be stronger than the other? Also what is a "vinyl laminate" tabletop? Is that hard or soft? Is it wood-like or material/vinyl-like? Which is better - formica or vinyl laminate tabletops? Thanks! Brainstorm, you say "Vinyl laminate is softer than formica" - question: is vinyl laminate at all a hard surface - like could you write on a piece of paper on the vinyl laminate table, or would you need to put something between the vinyl laminate tabletop and the piece of paper? Thanks!

A. The powder coated metal would be stronger by far. There's no telling what's underneath the chrome. Also, vinyl laminate is a hard, smooth surface. But not as durable as formica. Most people have vinyl laminate for countertops if that gives you an idea.. its the thin colored part that is glued over usually a particle board.
