    Looks cool, I’ve never seen it before. I’m not big on resto so I don’t come across the latest and greatest. My first thought is extremely skeptical.

    I have heard of spray welding before but have never really researched it. not sure if this is the same thing or not

    well just so happens that a buddy of mine moved to BC to work for the company that has Canadian rights to the Spray weld and it is really cool *** :pcorn: not sure how it would be used in auto body :huh:

    spray welding has been around for a long time. i have seen it used to resurface crank journals on remanufactured cranks where the bearing journals are pitted or too small. they will spray weld more material onto it and return the journal down. is it good…..well it wasn’t the best for that situation because occasionaly it would peel but that is an area of extreme wear and abuse. i would imagine it could work really well on autobody but who knows.

    yeah my powdercoater does ceramics like jethot. its just like a regular paint you spray on then bake at around 600deg.
