Re-powder coating of an old aluminum

"Can an old Powder Coated Aluminum be re-powder coated again into a new color?"

Hi, Sha. The easiest approach is probably just painting it. Most wet paints are compatible with most powder coatings. But if you need new powder coating, the old powder should probably be stripped before attempting recoating.
