Has anybody any experience of using this stuff? It basically seems to be a super hard paint that gets stronger if you get it wet!
It is reported to have been designed to paint oil rigs with and a few DIY car restoration forums have suggested using it for under body components as a means of rust prevention.

The main issue I have with powder coating is that it offers nothing to stop the oxidisation process of the base metal but relies on keeping the compoenent sealed from the elements, as soon as it is chipped, moisture can penetrate under surface. (Yes I know I may be a little OCD)
In an ideal world the component would be hot-dipped galvanised, etch primed and then painted with a durable, non-chipping & hard paint. Some components simply can't be heated for HD galvanising so a zinc paint followed by etch primer by hard paint is the only practical solution I can think of at present (not as good as the galvanising can't get to the inner crevices.)
