I would love to find out where a place in Michigan does this... ive heard about this before and just came across this site by accident...

Powder Coating MDF... now thats freakin cool... if you made a kick ass box and amp rack, you could do some crazy things without having to go to the trouble of fiberglassing to get a cool painted finish... if i find a place in Michigan, im gonna have them powder coat my sub box, just to have something totally different

what do you think of this process and having it used for car audio?

That looks pretty cool actually. I'm really interested to see how exactly that process works as mdf is non-conductive. My understanding of powerdoating is you apply a charge to a piece of metal and spray on a powder with an opposite charge. But regarding using it for car audio applications-i think it'd work pretty good.

I think the metal piece you are coating is grounded, and the powder is positively charged in the gun. The parts are then baked in a large oven at a pretty high temp. Not sure how this would work on non-ferous metals or wood though? I had the control arms on my 67 Camaro sand blasted and poweder coated. Very tough finish.

its the other way around actually.. they put the charge to the piece that they are coating and the gun is just spraying the powder that adheres to it magnetically. Then they bake it... when it comes to metal objects.

i emailed the company to see how they do it and if they do small one off jobs, cause if they do.. it might be worth it to ship it off to them and coat that sucker up...

I was gonna say... how the hell is it gonna work since it's not metal.. I doubt it's true "powder coating". I'm sure they coat it with powder though lol. So I guess it is..
