Yep, new one to me too? Paint is more more porous than powder? Powdercoat is a lot like a melted on plastic. Also if you clearcoat powder, you will lose the surface durability. Unless you're clearing for decal retension, what's the point of using powder to begin with?,,,,BD
That's the whole deal about having to clearcoat over the decals. The decal glue has no pores to grip to on the powder.
