      You can powder coat almost anything that can hold a charge. As long as it can hold up to the cure temperature period. Depending on the type of powder, the cure temperature can be as low as 275*. I know this because my roommate at school is a powdercoater.

      And I think it looks really good. I like that it is different.

        cuz its a nylon based material, which can withstand enough heat.. its a very tedious process but can be done, as you see..
