I have a sensor housing that is used for winter plow trucks. I have
my fabricator of the housing powder coat it. It seems to have good
integrity, but some tests I have been doing with thermo-shock from
about 0 degrees F to 170 degrees F have shown some flaking problems.
The material is flaking in sheets, like the metal may not have been
prepared properly.

Can someone give me a quick prep course so that I can talk
intelligently to the powder coat supplyer? What prep questions should
I ask? Are there different types of powder coat that may be better
for the harsh environments seen by a winter plow truck?
