Ace Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Well its my first time and it was on something that i knew wouldnt really matter if i messed it up cause i figured i would. It came out pretty good, i just put it on way too thick and i shook the gun and a bunch of it just plopped out. BUT the next thing i do should b much better. any way onto the gear and the pics. Oven: Gun: Bottom of my air intake: U can see its a bit lumpy because i learend that warming it up first helps, but i shouldnt have my first time doing ne thing cause when i messed up i couldnt spray it off it was already melted on, buut all in all it came out decent for a first time i think.

AI James Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) wrong as to why its lumpy. the reasom its lumpy is you used to much powder. that habor frieght gun is not the best but should work well enough for wht your doing. all the warming does is make the reaction start sooner and help the powder stic kto difficult contours. I used to powdercoat for 2 years and loved the job. also wheels need a coating over the powdercoating or the powder coating will sooner or later start hazing Edited October 22, 2008 by James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI James Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 yea shaking the hose or anything like that usually makes it clump when it comes out. it takes a little practice like paint but youll get it in no time and its actually fun imo. if i could find another job doing that, id be all over it. Used to do mainly Harley parts, car frames, fences, rear ends for classic cars, and a shitload of showerdoor edges, with a set of wheels every now and then.

kingsuv Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 So you have to put it in the oven to cure when it's done? Guess I'll have to find an oven big enough for my project Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI James Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 yea most items are 15 to 20 minutes at 450 depending on the metal, aluminum takes less time to cure then say iron or thick steel. if you can find an old pizza oven a ford rear end will fit in them, as we used to use one of those at my old house for my side hustle. As for car frames, best bet is paying someone to do it who had the oven. the oven i used to use was the size of a small apartment, and our bill at the shop for me running 2 of those ovens nonstop all day was crazy high.
