When do you use an epoxy vs. an acrylic electrocoat?
Most of the time we see electrocoating being applied for one of two reasons. As a primer for other top coatings or as a single protective coating for components. Examples of the latter are under-body or under-hood automotive or other equipment components. Epoxy will perform best for these purposes. However, epoxy will form a chalk film on the surface if it is exposed to the ultraviolet rays from sunlight for a relatively short period of time.
