How long does a sprayed lantern finish last?
A properly prepared on-site spray finish with a suitable coating system is durable, but it isn't the same as a factory powder coat. Preparation and the right primer for the material make the biggest difference. We also replace tired seals and end caps at the same time, because they look worse next to a fresh finish.
