I'm new to powder coating. Do you think it would be possible for someone to powder coat a set of worn out grills and make them look like the ones in the picture? The grilles are made out of pot metal.

Yeah, it would be pretty easy, but just not for the chrome of course.

Powder coating requires a fair amount of heat. Do you think they are at risk of cracking or warping? We have powder coated nearly everything under my Z and we just got back some big fender liners for a Buick that came back awesome... but it works best when the entire part is being powder coated. If you just want to freshen part of it up, you might just want to paint. Just like paint, prep work will make or break the quality of the finish.

Im a powder coater by trade, yes, you sure can. Depending on the company of the powder set the oven for 400 F for 10 mins
