Can this product be applied to a powder-coated finish or must it be applied to bare metal?

It can be applied to any clean metal surface and will provide excellent bonding.

I clear coated some aluminum wheels that I reconditioned. Should work great to seal as a rust preventative. If you are painting on bare steel there is prep product that they recommend fore bare metal(for adhesion). I forget the name but is made by the same company. I would definately recommend this product. It takes some time to dry(harden) but well worth the wait.

I think the answer is, it depends. I use it to lightly coat my cast-iron woodworking surfaces to keep the rust away in the humidity of Houston. However you can apply this as a finishing coat to wood surfaces if you want that kind of antique finish look. It would be best to read the following article and make the decision for yourself. The small amount that goes onto metal wood working surfaces is not enough to mess up any staining you may do as a finishing touch as you most likely will lightly sand the surface and remove any of the wax that may have come off the metal surface onto the unfinished wood (i do this all the time and never had a problem staining after using my tools). http://woodworking.about.com/od/finishing/p/PasteWaxWoodFinish.htm

Sir; I did not use on trim or plastic. Says not recommended for use on flat,matte or satin finishes.

I have only used it on very bright, well cleaned brass, and it worked very well. Just make sure the copper is very clean and that it has not been previously coated with anything.

The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin". The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint...I hope this helps. My husband has the directors chair and loves it.

I think preparation of sink surface is key to successful application. If surface rust and bump can be smoothed then product will adhere properly. Otherwise you will see bumps when paint cures. I applied product to bathtub with rust streaks showing through enamel. I couldn't get the rust streaks as smooth with the enamel, some bumps can be seen after paint cured. The rust spots still showed through after awhile. I think I needed to prime first and follow up with this product. So preparation is to get down to bare metal with all rust removed before application.

I cannot honestly answer this question because I do not have the Real Techniques powder brush. Sorry.

I think it will work on any metal surface. If you did the polishing, make sure the polish didn't have any silicone or wax in it. If it did, I would use lacquer thinner to clean before spraying. I found that this product does not work on outdoor projects. I used it on exterior brass door hardware and it lasted about two weeks before peeling.

I have not used this product on polished aluminum, however, I would not hesitate trying it. Had no negative effects on items such as antique nickle and copper plate also various steels and unpolished aluminum. Is the aluminum polished, or coated. If coated, its possible that it could remove the coating (as most other polishes and cleaners will do).

Treat this stuff just like POR-15 paint. Clean the surface, and use prep and ready. On bare metal or paint, I would scuff the surface 100 grit sandpaper too.

For adding stenciling to a powder coated item, you can use any oil-based paint. Powder coating is a means of applying paint, actually not a plastic surface. I'd choose a different Krylon product. There are some 3 ounce cans that would probably work just great.

Yes you can spray it on basically anything. Make sure the surface is super clean first. I have plasti dipped wheels and it's very cool at first but then you realize you want it to be permanent and plasti dip is not.

No - If using on bare aluminum it will require wash down with a suitable solvent, then prime and use R/O above or below water line paint - 2 coats.

You can use this product on any surface as long as you sand off the shiny finish. Make sure when you apply the product, you don't skimp on the paint. You want the product to get in the nooks and crannies for the best finished surface. Use it with confidence and don't second guess your choice. It will look great and you will do a fine job with your application.

The substrate material (what's under the finish) is irrelevant. It does need to be applied in a thick coating and works best if the environment and the surface is above 70 degrees.

This product will prep bare metal. Once prepped with rust converter, the surface will be ready for paint. Try not to wait too long to paint over the rust converter. One, two days at the most. I like using rust-oleum paint, works well to prevent rust from coming back.
