Ford Powder Coating Spec: Tough Compliance Question

Summary for ford powder coating spec Discussion

Need powder to meet Ford WSS-M2P180-A / WSS-M2P90 powder coating spec is the core question here: the original poster asked in 2005 for a powder coating that would match Ford WSS-M2P180-A, color YGYAXXG or M6388G, with a gloss of 20 ±3, after Rohm & Haas and DuPont said they had no product that met the spec. The page excerpt does not include a technical answer or product recommendation. A later reader, Jeff Peck, asked in 2016 whether the spec had been updated in 2011 to WSS-M2P90 and whether any powder coat material would meet the 480-hour salt spray requirement. The editor notes the RFQ is outdated and invites technical replies, but no public commercial suggestions. Based on the excerpt, the discussion remains unresolved and centers on identifying a compliant powder coating and confirming the current Ford specification.

2005

Hello, all:
Right now I’m looking for a powder coating to meet Ford WSS-M2P180-A spec. The color should be YGYAXXG or M6388G. The gloss after coating should be 20 ±3. I contacted Rohm & Haas and Dupont; neither has a product to meet that spec.
If you have some information about that, please advise.

Thanks a lot.

Ed. note: This RFQ is outdated, but technical replies are welcome, and readers are encouraged to post their own RFQs. But no public commercial suggestions please ( huh? why?).


Q. Has anyone answered this question? Am I correct that the spec was updated in 2011 to WSS-M2P90? Any suggestions on which powder coat material will meet the 480-hour salt spray spec?
