Summary for silk screening on powder coat Discussion
Silk screening on powder coated surfaces is the core issue here: Sam Rawlins asks how to put durable control legends on a powder coated guitar amplifier chassis, preferably with a baked-on ink or paint. The thread excerpt provided contains only the question and no answers, so there is no recommended product, process, or durability guidance to summarize from the source. Based on the post alone, the need is for a screen-printing coating that will adhere well to powder coat and survive handling and heat, but no named answerer or solution appears in the available text.
Q. As a hobby I build guitar amplifiers which have a powder coated chassis. I have a need to silk screen the control designs onto this surface. Maybe something that is baked. Do you have any recommendations on the type silk screening paint that would be durable and stick to the powder coat?
