    Default 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 .

    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.

    Some of this is mines and others. My oven is limited to size. I'm going to build a larger hopefully soon. Have ppl that want motorcycle frames , etc of that size coated .. And about to get in the multiple colors. Haven't had enough time to play around with that yet. Yeah, seen "Powder by the Pound" before. They do have a good selection. Sounds like their name can go in many directions. Lol But Summit seems to be limited on colors, and there is Eastwood as well.

    That would be nice. I definitely going to make a bigger oven. With more options to suspend and place parts to make it easier.
