lynn.reef.nerd March 22, 2022 Share March 22, 2022 What is a cheaper alternative to coat a steel stand? I was looking into powder coating but the pricing has gone up super high. I had another person recommend epoxy paint but is that a good long term alternative? Any suggestion appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScooterTDI March 22, 2022 Share March 22, 2022 Epoxy paints were my first thought as well. Might even be more durable than powder coat if the surface is well-prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howaboutme March 23, 2022 Share March 23, 2022 What you should be looking for are "metal coating" products. Look at PPG or Tnemec, both are used in construction. I believe Tnemec is offered in single gallons but likely has minimums. Most are at least 2 coats, primer and finish/top coat. I'd recommend you have a professional commercial painter do this. I do not believe they sell to individuals. Prepare for sticker shock, not your home depot paints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, was hoping for something I can just do at home. Don't want to have to transport it places. My husband is going to weld the stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
