Q: I had a customer inquiring about powder coating a porcelain toilet PINK. Is that possible? Preheat and shoot hot? Or just stay away from the test altogether? Thanks for your insight!
A: Yes, the porcelain throne can be powder coated. I would spend extra time with prepping the surface. I recommend cleaning with a decent detergent and follow with a good clean rinse. I would also consider a light blast with something like aluminum carbide or fine glass beads to roughen the surface.
Then preheat and powder coat with a laundry appliance-grade powder. We developed these a long time ago for washing machine tops and lids. Heck, we even came up with one for washer baskets. A laundry-grade product will have the water and cleaner resistance to withstand the rigors of the crappiere.
If you need a specialty product, we can come up with one for you. Like they always say, “It’s a crappy job, but someone has to do it.” Let me know if you need a product, and we will help.
