Steelcraft does not offer factory powder coated doors and/or frames.
Powder coatings usually require heat between 300 to 400 degrees to melt and cure the powder coat.
The higher heat can cause shape and/or core damage. It can also cause finishing problems from outgassing of the primer through the powder coat.
