Hello, I am noob on this forum...my name is Dave I am restoring an '80 FJ40 all original rust bucket.
I had an idea and just noticed something that may ruin my plans. I wanted to bead blast and powder coat my ambulance doors. But...I have noticed on a different set of ambulance doors that there is some silicon goo that was used to seal the lower panel of the door where the two halves come together.
Has anybody tried to powder coat their ambulance doors? What about the other body parts, Is there anything I should avoid or things that are known to work well?
I have experience powder coating and I know there are some powder coats that cure in the mid 300 degrees while others require 400+....maybe that goo could withstand 350deg?
Thanks in advance for your help!
