Windows are powdercoated, cars aren't, the spray packs are excellent for touching up powdercoat, and they last. IMO.

Anyway when our carpenter put in the new ones about 50% of the windows ended up with about a 0.5cm x 2cm scratch in the powder coating... looks like it was from the sliding handles bit. We live about 2km from the ocean... Should I be worried about these scratches??? Is it going to cause problems down the track?? Is there any way to fix it? Thanks for your help - look forward to hearing from you guys!! This is a serious problem!The ocean moisture will damage the powder coatings around the scratches first then all way around.Did you buy these windows from China ?
