Can you powder coat patio tube/pre galv material that has white powdery surface corrosion on it?

Yes – But we do not recommend doing this, as the corrosion process has started on the steel, even after acid cleaning, sanding and priming, the final powder coat finish can bubble and corrosion can continue to manifest in the substrate over time. We offer no warranty against this and always recommend you use the very best clean substrates available for maximum protection and a quality surface finish.
