Jake, I would like to take this as an opertunity to comment on powder coating in general(if I may be alowed). A freind owned a large facility that powder coated their own products, and those of others. Another freind was the production manager. My personal opinion is that powder coating is a nice finnish for items which will alway be inside, where they would not be subject to rust, even if unpainted. These gentlemen tried every thing from giant steel shot wheelabraders to humidity controll, to same day cleaning and powder coating, but the finnish was really only viable for their own product, gym equipment used indoors. Powder coating is an expensive joke for outdoor use. For less than twenty percent of the cost of powder coating, I have my work hot-dipped in zinc, sprayed with epoxy primer, and automotive top coat. The rust stains visible on the chair prove my case in my opinion. John Christiansen
