My first powdercoating Job

[Ralph]

K, i didnt realy go by the book on this part cause i was so anxious to try it out, the blue looked great on the polished rack the the prat was hung on:p, lol and on the part it was a little off, it went from dark to lighter( i guess i didnt spray to evenly) but it is nice and smooth, i also messed up a little on the baking, i fergot to hit the start button on the timer so it cured maybe a little to long or a little too short. i aslo messed up i never let the part cool before i sprayed it so it was like an instant flow out.

im gonna try to do my shifter in some black not and be very carefull to follow all the steps... wish me luck

and the part

[Doibugu2]

I take it your using one of the hobby guns? Which one? How long did it take you to do those pieces from start to finish? I have been thinking about buying one.

Looks pretty good for a first try. Practice makes perfect.

[Ralph]

im using the chicago electric gun, like 280 shipped for a nig kit with a lazer thermo(wich i didnt get yet:mad: ) it took like 40 minutes w/ curing...

[Doibugu2]

Thats cool. Do you think its worth it?

[Ralph]

yeah

[Ralph]

[Woodsrider]

Did you have to cut the toe pad off of your shifter, or were you able to get it off in one piece?

[Ralph]

Cool, What did you line the inside with? You ever think about giving it a down, or back draft?

[Rip_Tear]

Cool, did you find it hard to do a good job? Like evening it, or is it pretty hard to do? Is it hard to screw up? Good luck with Future PC'n!

[Glow Plug]

awsome :D

[Ralph]

it isnt that hard, just takes some practicing, i dont know what the material is called i used to li e the inside with but it basically is a piece of thin wood with some kind of finish on it or something. i bought a fan and filter but decided not to use it

[Woodsrider]

Right on, I havent got around to puttin the fan in mine yet either:rolleyes: I just used formica to line it with. I have been busy buildin a larger oven lately. big enough to do four wheels at a time or a harley frame:D

[Ralph]

i have abig oven too, prob fit 4 or 5 quad wheels and like 4 car wheels

[yellowex01]

Lets see some of your ovens. Mine is being built, what a pain in the keester..

[Ralph]

well there is the toaster

[Ralph]

and i also have a big oven that is all clean now

[Woodsrider]

Cool where did you find that at? I went looking all over for a big ove like that and couldnt find one. I had to make my own:ermm:

[Ralph]

i dunno, we got it when we bought the company
