Clear powder coat

I ran across this while surfing. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to clear powder coat a receiver to protect the case colors.

Would it be too thick? Would removing the coating be possible?

I guess everybody thought this was a stupid post.

Richard, there's nothing stupid about your post and I think your second post expressed the same thoughts many of us were having. Personally, I think that kind of finish would be too permanent and would seal over the screws and possibly diminish the beauty of the engraving.

Best, Dean

My buddy got his stevens 44 1/2 tiger striped case collored and it has a coat of something on it and it looks great I'll talk to him soon. I't doesnt have any engraving though. I'll get a picture of it next time i am at dodge. I need an excuse to go to dodge anyway. ch
