My current PPF is free of cracks but has been neglected and is rusty. Ultimately I'd like to take it in to be powdercoated but i had a question regarding the seam sealer that is on the back side. I assume the powdercoater will have to remove the seam sealer. Does it need to be replaced? Would the PPF buzz, vibrate or tranmit more noise without it, or is the purpose just to keep water out of the seams?

 

ok its off to the powdercoaters, they're removing the seam sealer. should i replace it when the PPF comes back?

 

It can't hurt. I'm in the bay, where did you send it to?

 

leons powdercoating. its in a ghetto area in oakland, but they did a nice job on my 20b subframe and they are relatively cheap. i was having some other brackets etc done and i figgured i might as well just have it done at the same time. ill have to post some pics friday when i get all the parts back. im also having them powdercoat my windshield wiper arms in satin black, oil filler kneck and other engine brackets gloss black

 

Cool, I'll be waiting

 

parts back. came out really nice. i also had some other pieces done. Please ignore the flowery sheets -heath
