Mate powder doesnt go off on its own, well the stuff we use at work doesnt. I'm pretty sure that all powder needs baking at 200 c

looks good my friend ... stick at it .. re shelling as folk have said may have been easier option but sometimes easier isnt the way forward. You'll have a better sense of acheivement when its all done mate rather than a " simple " re shell !!

Fair play, I kind of know the guy that had this car, my sister wanted to buy it,
It really didn't look that bad when it was all in one piece!
Looks like you are having fun with it though!

if its left to just go off then it is not powder coat as it is what it says it is ,its a powder that has to be heated up to a point that the powder melts & becomes one even surface .if its just left to go off then surelly its got to be either conventional paint or possibly stove enamel with out the stove as it is a paint that will go off with out heat but more durable with heat .i hope that makes sense
