Thanks!  '>

Powder coating is really hard to scratch and there isn't much inside the machine that is going to scratch the liner. I would just have it powdercoated.

As bothered as I am about it.. I'll probably do both..... powdercoat then Hammertone.
Don't want to put all this work and money in it for it to rust in a couple years.
Want this to last.........
Thanks all for the advice......

I went with Hammerite but prepped and primed with their special primer for galvanized steel.
Eric - Why would you do both? My understanding is that powdercoat is tougher but more expensive. Hammerite is almost as good and considerably cheaper. As an fyi, I think somewhere in the forum was a question (I think from Josh) on whether or not you could effectively paint over powdercoat. I can't remember if an answer was ever posted but might be worth a look....

Why both? I don't know... Just after taking this thing apart.... getting stuff chromed,
cleaned, media blasted and if I can get this thing back together I don't want to see
in a few years rust coming through and I like the look of Hammertone.
But powdwer coating is tougher... so here I am...
Yeah what ever came of that painting powdercoating?..... Don't want it to start
popping off either.
Thanks for all the tips and advice.... we'll see.... the ol' wallet will be the deciding factor.

Eric,
One of the first machines that used hammertone on 7-8 years ago still looks like it was recently painted. It's all in the prep work. I wash with a high presure steam cleaner then I scrub the crap out of them with an sos pad and steam clean again. I then "brush" (lightly)sandblast prior to painting with hammertone. All the parts that are small enough to fit in my media blaster gets bead blasted. This works great for me. '>
