    I am thinking about powder coating my window trim black.
    Has anyone done this?
    I know the material seems pretty soft and I don't want to melt it :rolleyes:

    I would think stainless will take powdercoat.Talk to a powder coating shop.Virtually every other metal can be powder coated,so why not.

    I sanded my windshield and back glass and painted with SEM Trim Black. It looks good on the dark maroon color of my '77. I'm also painting the hood lip trip body color as I had the headlight bezels painted body color.

    I do powder coating for a living, and yes, you can powder coat stainless trim without a problem. I have done it several times. I would reccomend lightly scuffing it with scotch brite, and spraying it at room temperature.
