    Yeah, you can't give car filler an electrical charge, so powder won't stick to it

    I thought it was to do with it the temperature rather than it's conductivity.

    Paint over it with conductive paint first?

    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    And the shotblasting will just rip it all off anyway. Powdercoating only works on metal.
