• Powder coat

      Powder coated a friends 17" rims this past Saturday. Took a while to get the 5-6 coats of Krylon off.

      Once we got all the paint off it was prep time.


      Then for the coating.

      And will cooking. 400°f for 10 minutes after the powder flows out. And you get nice results, if you cleaned thoroughly.


      They look a million times better than they did before. And should resist rock/pebble chipping better than the krylon. Especially coating the face a couple times. Figured I would share .

        Thanks. Done a few valve covers. My intake tube and catch can. Will be doing a lot of coating on my father's Barracuda in the near future.

        Order one of those high temp. coating and tell me how it goes on the manifold? I did it one time but it flaked off after a while. I see there are even higher temp ones but they kind of mucho dinero.

        Rice, I don't know about the high temp coating. I'm sure it wouldn't work out since the oven is only turned up to 400f. You know I send my high temp applications to Swain Tech.

        Can you powder coat cast part? Like the exhaust side of a turbo, or the center section?

        I can powder coat anything that is metal. But if your part will exceed 400°f, you might will have a problem. That's the temp its baked at. I'm not going to mislead and tell you differently. Stuff like exhaust manifold/Turbo hot sides/headers, I always sent to Swain Tech to get ceramic coated. But i can coat it if you insist on doing it.
