    Alternative to 2 Part Epoxy Paint
    I am currently painting metal sheets of diamond plates with 2 part epoxy paint. I'm looking for an alternative paint that will adhere to the diamond plate.

    Thank you!

    Would getting them commercially powder coated be an OK thing to do?

    Not sure of the application or the amount of plate.

    Thanks. That's a good suggestion. I don't think we considered having them powder coated. I'll have to look into that.

    Are you trying to cut cost or what, epoxy should work well. Its cheaper than powder coating since you must send them out to a shop for coating.
