powder coating

[togators]

I have a powder coated trim piece around my entry door jam on a 2003, 23 sport.  It has peeled off in spots, corroded under the coating (paint) in other areas.  Then perfect on one whole side.  Has anyone had this problem and if so, how did you fix it?  It looks like allot of work to remove the piece and have sandblasted then re-powder coat.  I don't want it to look bad, but it doesn't have to be perfect.  Thanks in advance for your advice.

I've got the same problem and it's on my list. I'm anticipating a pretty simple procedure involving stripping, sanding, priming and painting with an enamel. I'm not going to over-complicate it by removing the frame. I will remove the door though until the paint is dry.

I have the same problem on my 3250.  Mine is on the windshield frame on the outside.  I plan to do the same as REEL-Therapy unless someone has a better idea.  Lots of taping and covering up surrounding areas, not a windy day, and on a bug free day too!  I think REEL implied spray enamel. 

Any other ideas or suggestions?

No magic answers here, but just one observation:  The primer is the paint job.  The top coat is simply to put the color on that you want.  Be sure to get a good metal primer that is designed for the job (I assume aluminum...).  And I might suggest you use the topcoat that is designed for engine blocks -- the high heat resistant type.
