Ah ,yes. My experience also. The P C is supposed to be more durable and perhaps on the road it was poss less apt to incur road damage and rock chips but due to its thickness I incurred problems. It was the first and last dealing with powder. Those may know to chase threaded holes and I did on the only one at the brake tee/vent. I also took a roll cartridge roll and opened up the 4 link hole id s so the grade 8 fine passed thru them but upon final install of course just a light tap to install these and the coating chipped around the holes. Not so bad if covered by washers but mine was a fully adjt set up for street strip. Upon a few test and tune different holes on the 4 link brackets were needed for best et. Then there is no way to "touch up" or spot repair in the car as with paint. Was wondering if the powder was too thick or everyone has the same. Also the build up on the ham mounting flange and a gaskets and very short axles caused a fitment problem. Best result was to eliminate the gasket on the housing and run a bead of ultra gray.
