[QUOTE="JaxJonBoat, post: 256135, member: 8284"] thanks guys, yeah it turned out above my expectations. My friend has a 25' oven and large hangers as you can see in the photos. the shop is at his house, how nice is that!!!! we used a two stage powder coat system. first we degreased and acid cleaned the hull, then used aluminum oxide primer powder, half baked it then while it was still hot applied the DuPont ultra durable blue top coat powder, they melt together and form one single bond that way. then we did the final bake to 400 degrees for 15 mins. The DuPont powder has to pass a 2000 hour salt spray test while normal powder usually only has to test to 1000 hrs. they should all come from the factory this way. this stuff is hard as a rock and we did a test piece that we bent a full 180 to make sure it would not peel off, it stayed on perfectly. time will tell as i haven't seen anyone powder the whole boat, hopefully it will last.
