  1. How well a powder holds up depends on how well the surface was prepped and if the part is cured properly. Veined powders may not show scratches as easily due to their texture, but they have no advantage over black powder in terms of durability. You can put 20 coats of powder on a part if you like.

    Color doesn't affect durability.

    Powder formulation can affect UV resistance. Urethane powders are more UV resistant than TGIC powders, but TGIC powders, which are polyester, are more common and do well overall in direct sun exposure.

    In short, powder durability is a function of good prep work, a proper cure cycle, and powder chemistry. Color has nothing to do with its ability to take abuse.

    There are many options when it comes to black: wrinkles textures, leathers, gloss, matte, satin, etc....lots of options.
