Clear powder coat on bare metal?

Can you powder coat just clear coat on bare metal? If so, does it take any special prep?

You can clear over bare metal. It’s standard powder coating practices, obviously it will turn out as good as the prep is done. I haven’t personally done it but I know it can be done. I didn’t realize how many “clears” they have.

Thanks! I’m thinking about plasma cutting copper, cleaning it and jeweling it, and then clear coating it.

IDK if I’ll get around to it, but I’m investigating options.

It is also interesting how many of their powders specify that they must be clear coated over for proper appearance.

If you want to see what it looks like, the stand the trailer is resting on is coated with the glowbee clear.
