Method for Touching Up Powder Coating

Our customers require us to assemble Powder Coated parts. Sometimes they are pitted or damaged. Is there a way to touch-up Powder Coating or Handling defects?

Dear Mr A Korlselman,

This query has been answered by me on an earlier letter but at the risk of repeating myself here goes:

Dissolve the same powder used in the coating in TC or any NC based thinner in which the powder dissolves. Touch up the scratched area with the resultant Paint /paste/ liquid powder whatever you call it with a suitable paint brush.

Experience will give you an idea of how much your Solvent/ powder mix should be.

All the best,

regards, K Vahanwala
