“We are investigating the process of powder clear-coat over a powder base coat system. Is anyone doing this in production currently? We are currently doing high gloss and metallic polyurethane powder. The application is outdoor lawn and garden equipment. “

“Yes, several companies are applying clear powder coatings over color powder coatings. The result is a high definition deep coating (high DOI). In fact, many outdoor furniture manufacturers do this on their specialty colors. The process is straight forward (base coat applied and partially cured then the clear coat is applied and fully cured). The base coat will accept the overbake of the clear coat without problem. “
