Default powder coating fibre glass nand other plastics?

Hi i run a small powder coating buisness in Australia and i always get asked if i can powder coat fibre glass and plastic for cars and some motor bikes. I am aware that i would need powder coat that would fully cure at lower temperatures but i was wondering if there is such a thing

Any help would be great.

ABS starts to deform at 180 deg F, so most automotive parts can't be done. Some of the composite materials used on auto engines today can be coated with normal powder just reduce the heat some and cure longer. A good example of this is the new corvette composite intakes.

New? Composite intakes have been around for years.

Ditto on the UV coatings.

Thanks for clarifying that! I'm not a vette guy so they are new to me. LOL


UV coatings are very limited in color and finish selection at this time.
