What to avoid from Powder Coaters, Don't just let anyone do the WORK - Ep 48 

yeah its crazy how people cut corners sometimes

Good to hear. q&a coming Saturday

Unknown Coatings Cant wait. I’m setting up my garage for personal coating mainly. Vintage Motorcycle builds/restorations. I’m learning a lot that will be very beneficial on my current project. Again, Thank You

I appreciate it!

Good to hear! Gonna do another one Saturday!

I truly appreciate this message. And yeah its pretty wild what people are willing to pass off as good work.

Glad to hear it!

i appreciate the kind words and thanks for joining the live last nite!

thank you so much!

Haha I could make a series

Cause another one is coming up

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Glad to hear!

Haha well imagine buying these diffuser and having it flapping under your car...

Unknown Coatings good thing I sold the one I got

glad to help!

Thanks!

are you taping the rear pad? if so do you cut the lug hole openings out?

Chrome should be removed entirely. if they are brand new you can get away with sand blasting em but its a big risk on pitted chrome

Thanks man!

You could have had more!

@@UnknownCoatings I'm still trying to structure something for that actually.

Agreed

Located in SLC, UT. Not much will take powder coat off, in a home environment.

RIM STRIP, info is in my video description!

Only if it dislodged.

if you are only doing one set, just pay to have em done.

Good to hear!

Nope and I never will minus vibratory polishing which I'm waiting for my equipment on

cut the opening for the lug hole itself.

have a chrome shop remove it!

yes absolutely, its more work after sand blasting but a chem strip and repolish is absolutely an option !

Stripper is listed in description, Silicone is GE window silicone

thats awesome, hopefully the videos here are helpful

Chips off would likely be a cure issue.

cure time is after the rim hits the cure temp

take em apart!

Haha I don't think anyone would pay for this information 😂

@@UnknownCoatings 1.38 and growing . Good luck on your surgery mate . I ll send ya some skittles then 😇

Absolutely when I started I didn't chem strip or blast my parts. I had someone blast them for me

Spray booth, sand blast cabinet, good quality gun, compressor, oven, just the basics you would be into @ 15-20K depending what you purchase. I am in TC, just a few miles down the road from you. If you got any questions just holler. I know this was 5 months ago, but it was 2020, so...

around 1000 for this, 500-600 for a typical set of single stage wheels

I always suggest stripping it first

i outgassed them, but sprayed them while cold. Not too sure if thats what you are asking

I tend to coat the whole barrel.

how do I do what exactly? process is pretty much the same

I made it but I have em for sale as well

Just make sure they do proper prep work. Sand blasting, zinc primer, etc.

On most stuff no. Steel pieces I often do. I just use a zinc primer

@@UnknownCoatings awesome thanks... one more question if you don't mind what media do u use for blasting your wheels? And would 80 grit aluminum oxide work for wheels?

Zinc primer or a 2 pack etch.

Yeah all the time. The Subaru in one of my last videos was in the shop for the job.

IFS SILVERDILLO

none.

speeds up the process immensely

You could use a chemical stripper, but they are nasty. You still would have to shot blast afterwards.

always stoked people find use in these videos!

Rim strip. Information on how to purchase is in the description of my vids.

ukcarmy at gmail

was in Utah

Q&a coming Saturday

When arent they?

its all about learning!

Kapton tape

@@UnknownCoatings ok k thank you

where did I say that? I will have to go back and check the context lol

L

Hah yeah I feel ya. It's pretty wild. Ironically these guys used to be a customer of mine but decided they wanted to pretend my job was easy

@@UnknownCoatings Unbelievable wow

I have power tools. What aspect do you think I would need them in relation to this video?

thats what everyone tells me but in nearly 15 years I havent experienced a single problem. clean hands and low humidity in my area probably helps

Haha right?!

I have NEVER once had an issue like they describe, and its been 14 years of powder coating for me

email is best unknowncoatings@gmail.com

occasionally.

the IFS one? I know there is Siverdilla from one place and Silverdillo from IFS lol

@@UnknownCoatings I really can't remember it was a good 7 years back it was a new color then I just distinctively remember it tasting like hairspray. Man I really miss powder coating which is why I'm sitting on business up here soon also which reminds me I really appreciate your videos

hah yeah, im sure it helps em feel relevant or something

Lol I love getting bad advice! Its literally my favorite part about this channel

@@UnknownCoatings I owned Static International Ltd in the UK. I designed electrostatic spray machines in the 60's up to 2000. We introduced powder spraying to Canada and the US in the early seventies before Gema, Ransburg, & Nordson. Or anyone else had machines therefore. I think I know a lot more about the subject than you. Google my name.

@@dodgement imagine telling me to google your name and me doing it and finding nothing. 😂😂😂 Cool man. You can "know" as much about "electrostatic machines" as you want and if doesn't indicate anything to your knowledge here

@@UnknownCoatings Did you have the sense to Google my name with Patents?

@@UnknownCoatings I also owned a coating Business called Static Coatings Ltd for 40 years. mainly coating car components for Jaguar, Honda, Vauxhall, etc.

But you can see the finish is fine. So apparently you aren't in a good place to comment.

Even funnier is no wheel in this video was sprayed with a "gema gun" lol.

@@UnknownCoatings Pity I cannot put a grab shot on here.

Lol I own pneumatic tools and battery powered ones as well... I appreciate your "advice" though.... I'll stick my crappy craftsman and snapon and Matco tools. I hope my videos are still informative now that you know I'm not using quality tools

@@UnknownCoatings I just came back to delete my comment, I just want to apologize that you had to read that! That was the very first video that I had seen of yours, But I have been watching your videos nonstop since then! I’ve been an Auto and Marine Mechanic for the past 27 years and I have owned my own shop for the past 10, RU-vid is just flooded with young people who are too lazy to work a real job so they just make videos repairing their own vehicles and they some how think that they are Mechanics! Sure they get the job done but they don’t have to worry about standing behind their work and repairing vehicles for free when they come back with that problem, A perfect example would be every person who has made a video showing how to replace control arms or any suspension part for that matter! What they don’t know is you’re not supposed to torque any suspension parts until the wheels are on the ground and the vehicle is sitting at it’s natural ride height, These idiots don’t know what they don’t know! So now someone else watches their video and now they think that they can fix their own vehicle and they end up causing more damage, I can’t even count how many customers have come to my shop because they messed something up after watching a video! I wasn’t sure if you were a RU-vidr making videos or a business owner showing people your skills, I was going to come back earlier and delete this comment but I couldn’t stop watching your videos! Lol Just out of curiosity what state do you live in? You do great work and strive for perfection, Once again sorry about that snarky comment!

Totally different customer.

You would be amazed!

I blamed the company who did the work....

@@UnknownCoatings well you mentioned looks like they used prismatic powder for the black, thats why I stated don't blame the powder company is what i was trying to mention...great videos by the way, learned alot from your clips

@@417plasma6 I'd suggest listening a little closer. 6:12 or so into the video
