As i am working in powder coating industry too, some helpfull tips: - you should put the ground on the grid and not on the piece as it will leave you with uncoated marks. Use copper link between grid and the piece - preheating or not depend also on the powder you choose and the thickness you want

[@vadaszmate1400]

How does preheat effect the thickness? Does it make it more thick?

[@InTheFurnaceSurvival]

as a 8 year pwdr coater i gotta say : love the enthusiasm but never ground from your parts kids and recoating doesnt require the part to be hot . thats what the kv setting is for , first coat you spray higher kv second coat or "recoat " you spray lower kv

[@stickyfox]

Preheating depends mainly (I think) on whether the powder coat compound is a thermoset or thermoplastic, and should just follow the powder manufacturer's application instructions.

I've found that sanding the part with 80 grit, (specially on factory powder coated parts) before applying the paint remover makes the remover work faster. Good video!

[@1QKGLH]

As soon as I saw the bags, twisted, folded over and a giant zip tie I knew you got your colors from prismatic. I've had nothing but great success with their stuff. The spring looks great!!

[@Fred82ndAbn]

For hard to reach places on your part, you can put acetone on a sprayer and then blow it with compressed air. That will remove any oils leftover.

[@boostaddict_]

Hi there, professional powder coater here. Your rack and hooks are conductive. Connect your static to the rack. Keep the gun around 16" away from the part, let the static do all the work. Pressure in this video was a bit too high, you want it to just float on the air.

Hello Cameron, Thanks for the video. Although I am an old guy, I am restoring a 1983 Honda XL 500 R. I am new to powdercoating but now I will do likewise for my rear coil spring. I use a friendly paintshop over here in Brittany, France. Thanks again.

[@tomheckhaus7617]

Hey Cameron, I see you've removed the top burners from the stove. I had a similar setup some years ago. I placed some fiberglass insulation in the space left by the removed burners. Then placed a 3/4" piece of MDF on the top bolting to the metal top with some lag bolts in each corner. That made a nice work-top. The insulation and wood top also serve to insulate the stove for uniform temperatures. I never had any problems with the wood burning at 450f the old metal top took up most of the heat that made it through the insulation. The spring turned out really nice. Best of Luck, Tom

[@keithlane4343]

Great video except one thing. Don't ever sand blast or glass bead springs. It acts like shot peening and changes the surface tension in the spring steel and your springs will have a different height, and compress / return rate. It may not matter depending on application, but when I was going to the Dana / Spicer Tech school in Toledo Ohio, to prove the theory, our instructor took two identical new valve springs, glass beaded one, and we tested it on a valve spring tester. The glass beaded spring was almost an 1/8" (.125) taller, and lost a significant amount of pressure at the same assembled valve spring retainer height. I was surprised at the amount of change, and thought I'd possibly save someone from damaging their springs. Keep up the great content.

[@chasepalagi7675]

I'd be more concerned with that oven destroying any heat treatment that spring had!

[@keithlane4343]

@@chasepalagi7675 That would make for great content for some enterprising KZbinr. Take three identical springs. Valve springs would be perfect because they're small and come with tension specs at a compressed height. Check height and tension, then glass bead one, heat one up to the temperature of powder coating, then put them all side by side and see what the free standing height is , and then what the tension is at a given compressed height. You could obviously test with two after testing, but it would be cool to see all three versions side by side. Excellent point on the possible heat damage. Now where do we find a KZbinr to carry out this experiment ........ 😀

[@dharmakissoon]

heat will cause the same effect

[@lsubslimed]

Chase Palagi - Springs are tempered much hotter than 450 F, not to mention the spring, being as thick as it is, isn't in the oven long enough to even equalize at that heat, so most the heat is really only on the surface of the steel. In other words, it shouldn't affect the original temper.

[@theroyalcrownedtiger2946]

@@lsubslimed : Also let the springs slowly air cool at room temeperatures, and not accelerated cooled, lets say dipping in water.

You can mix powdercoat with thinner and spray with a conventional gravity feed spray gun. I have even used it through an air brush. With spray gun and airbrush you can do fades and such. I mix in a plastic bottle with marbles and strain, as the powder can be susceptable for lumps.

[@evilution_ltd]

If the spring isn’t closed fully at each end, it’s very easy to thread heat shrink tubing onto the spring. Light oil helps get it on and protects underneath when the heat shrink is shrunk. You can get a lot of different colours and the final piece is a thick plastic coating and will last for ages.

[@ipaddy]

evilution great idea I'm going to give it a go

[@fidelalgarin7216]

It will also trap moisture inside and rust ...

[@s00p3rman]

Not a good idea. Sorry. You will end up with rusty, weak, springs covered in faded, stained and brittle rubber. Shrink wrap isn't designed for that application.

[@dansears9204]

If your going to do that just plasti dip them.

[@f.d.6667]

Love your idea but I just had a spring crack on me (car) and that was because of ONE tiny spot of corrosion ... so the "light oil" probably won't be enough. Better do a proper passivation first, the the oil... also, there is heat-shrink with heat-activated glue on the inside (in that case I'd drop the oil thing)...

Great video! i might add one caution not that many people would run into it. That bio degradable aircraft paint remover was still relatively new when in my Marine squadron in the mid '70's I got the task of doing some paint removal on big aircraft parts. We nicknamed that remover "whale snot" something I call it to this day. The caution is this. Do the whole thing at once. Do not apply any more than you can scrape/wash off before it starts to dry. If you get tired, do not take a "lunch break" in the middle of removal after whale snot application if you are doing lots of parts or work. If that stuff dries... It dries as it looks. All bubbled up and flakey. With the strength of steel damn near. Annnd another app of remover now, will not touch it. It will need hard core sanding and grinding off.

When heat treating items such as springs you need to keep in mind that you will alter the spring rating of the spring steel. So try and be careful of the temp in your oven and the duration of the heat treatment.

[@fenixbogarden8665]

at my previous job there was a powdercoating (production)line, with pretreatment chemicals set to 60 degree C, they were dragged along for 15 minutes before getting hit with the powder. Basicly cool your part to about 45C and you are good to go. These were oiled metal parts and did an alkaline degreasing and cleaning (2 stages with rinsing and rinsing after rinsing) of the parts. Afterwards they went in an inline oven to be baked. taking material thickness and line speed into consideration it was from 75min to 110min on temps between 210 and 280C.

Hello. im working as a powder painter in Poland (sorry for my English). I have some advice. The time that manufacturer give you as the time to the metal should be in the heat. It isn't the whole time in the heat. This is the time that the metal should have the tempeture given by manufacturer. So add some minutes more. And don't touch metal after heating bifore painting.

Not to be a know it all but I have over 20 years of powder coding experience. You’ve got everything down to a science as far as your painting goes in the way you loft your powder. Your painting skills are good but the next time you place your Ground clip onto the rack itself that way you don’t get a third smudge on your powder coating just a thought. I use non flux core welding wire for a mug welding to make all my hangers. It is a 1/2 mm wide. Conducts current very well. Leaves very small scars.

[@melcartier5016]

Use a cardboard box with about 80% of one side cut out, and with a couple slits along the top you can slide the hanging wire through to hold "whatever" in place for coating. This SAVES on nasty mess and clean up. Also, this stops any drafts in the air which cause issues. For curing try "25" minutes at 400F - it's the best combo we've tried and we paint parts for an acidic environment - if it lasts for us, it's last forever! Hope this helps save clean up and mess, and I'm sure it'll help on the end product.

[@ryanwilson_canada]

You need to heat most spring steels up to around 1400-1500f for the annealing process, most ovens max out between 500-700f. My home oven will go 550f cooking or 750/800f on a self clean cycle.

[@chasepalagi7675]

@@ryanwilson_canadaWho knows what steel it is but I'd bet it is something with .6% to .9%carbon. Probably something like 5160 and the ideal temperature for tempering most spring steels would be around 700°F That is not to say that it can be done under that temperature.

[@LM_Cams]

@@chasepalagi7675 yep. Tempering can start to be done at 200°C (about 400F) and it modifies the microstructure of the steel. It shouldn't be done on springs, cuz they'll probably have a plastic deformation as soon as you mount them again.

[@theheadstock9079]

[@davidanastacio8928]

If you can transfer the ovens heating elements and install them like the oven, you can make a oven any size you find best for your project by building the structure out of cement board with hinges and stops and locks. Making the baking structure collapsible and easy to stow away in a smaller space until need again. With this style of unit you can attempt much larger pieces. Often large projects go unattempted because of the restrictions to the size of oven available. Just a thought for consideration and experimentation.

[@blackbeard7623]

Cameron, first off I'm new to your channel and love it already. Question for you, were you worried at all about heat from the oven changing the molecular structure of the spring? In blacksmithing we temper knives after quenching to slightly soften the metal to make it strong and not so brittle. Thoughts?

[@azimhamidun]

not much of a concern i guess, since the spring is also powder coated from the factory. recoating with far less heat wouldn't change the properties of the material tho. but i could be wrong

[@richardholbrook4855]

There is not enough heat for it to change that spring. The spring would have to be Red hot in order for it to change shape

[@darkcoeficient]

Is it really a good idea? I worry all the heating might affect the stiffness of the springs. Althought short heating times should not make that change significant.

12 min at 450 is usually the temperature the substrate has to achieve for full cure, so if you only left the part in for 12 min, then the substrate could not have been at 450 for that amount of time, The part might come out looking good, and might perform for your application, but the times are for the substrate temp.

After reading most of the comments , the answer to the hook marks and touch up . You would either have to match the color with wet paint or contact your powder supplier for touch up solution which you would mix up a small quantity with your powder and do touch ups with a brush. The problem with this example is the red is a tinted clear coat so there could be a slight color difference with touch up.

He does great work with coloring of the springs, but I would not heat up the springs in the stove, it could change the tempering of the steel springs, and possibly make it less durable than before. For me I would do the same process for the springs, as I would do with the metal panels of the auto body painting / re-painting, with prep work and everything, including painting with the paint gun and using body paint, with many coats of paint. Different people can have different ways of doing things, but at the end, the results speaks for itself, and the results turns out great, as long as it's been properly and carefully done, with good equipments, supplies, etc.

I wondered if the oven would cause any annealing of the spring. fairly low heat over time ( hours) can cause some annealing, but I don't know exactly what those time/temperature numbers are. If the springs don't lose their length when in use, then I would guess they didn't get any annealing. Also, are you using anything to keep from breathing any of the airborne spray? I would highly recommend doing something to create a slow-flow booth setup, using plastic sheeting or something, with an exhaust fan to a filter or to the outside. The small particles are really bad for lungs, even if in barely noticeable amounts. I just want you to stay healthy and not hurt your lungs. Thanks for the detailed video!

hey man, was interesting to watch. i do this full time but on a larger scale with a powder booth and a 4.3 metre oven, we get all sorts of work from aluminum to steel from customers, always using our sand pads 60 grit or lower for steel, and 80 or higher for ally, always trying to get that smooth finish, no scratch marks or anything like that. most common colours we get are - 7016 - grey 9005 - black and they vary from matt/semi gloss/gloss/ or satin which is similar to semi gloss, pretty satisfying watching them come out the other end, we spray from cold, the only time we pre heat anything is if its a reject from another powder coating business OR a mess up from our end. gotta say the only bad thing about powder coating is sometimes you dont want to wear a mask because it gets to hot or irritated, and you end up with different colour bogeys when you blow your nose lol, defiantly not good for you haha.

My friend and I did the same thing to make my coil a fox orange. We didn’t use gloves and it hurt and we brushed away and power washed away the leftover chips of paint.

Nice....looks like another skill I need to pick up. I know the most tedious part is the prep work for powder coating, but the end result is worth it.
