Cheapest DIY Powder Coating Guide | How To Powder Coat On A Budget At Home | Best Kit

[@andymiller5611]

That was a nice, down to earth, educational video. Thanks, man! I came across your vapour blasting video about a week ago and I've been binge watching your playlists since then! The bikes have taken my fancy - loved the Triumph one and I'm halfway through the CB750, a particular favourite as I have a '92 F2N version! Your videos have a great amount of detail and your presentation style is very pleasant and you make what youre doing easy to follow! Keep up the great work! I hope you have a relaxing break and I wish you all the very best for the New Year!

Thanks, Andy. I hope you have a great time over the holiday season. There is still a lot for me to do with the Triumph over the Winter, but I can't wait for Spring, as I want to finish the Cafe Racer with a great paint job.

I was a bit sceptical at first that this system would be successful using just cheap equipment, but I bought a really basic kit, much more basic than the one you have, and it has produced outstanding results, I powder coat bullets, and have subjected them to a rigorous destruction test, every time the result has been way better that expected, so I now use this system on Motorcycle parts, the next project is to coat parts for my Vincent, so you can see how confident I am that it works, the one factor you must address is the quality of powder! That is the main consideration, do not use cheap powder if you want good results, and I coat mine inside a large box so I can recover the overspray powder. All Best Wishes for Christmas! Chris B.

Sounds like a great project. It is surprising how good it works out, like you, I didn't expect too much at first. And there was a little trial and error. It is hard to judge who is actually selling quality powder, when you tend to buy in such small quantities.

[@453421abcdefg12345]

@SPANNERRASH Yes ascertaining quality is a problem, my problem is actually getting the powder sent to me in France, as it comes in from foreign countries it is a bit hit or miss. I have got a large industrial oven, so I can cure quite large objects like a Vincent crankcase. Chris B.

Those look great!

[@SPANNERRASH]

Glad you like them!

Great video as usual. Mask off threaded holes with sacrificial bolts or silicone plugs. 150'C is enough for the Powder but as you describe the part must be fully degreased and fully heated through.

[@SPANNERRASH]

Thanks for the info! I didn't think of silicon plugs, great idea.

Another interesting video.😃

Thanks, we aim to please :)

Great how-to, but you left out the explanation of how to tell my Yorkshire Lass wife that I need to borrow her oven to cook motorcycle parts.

[@SPANNERRASH]

Buy her a new one for Christmas, so you can have the old one. Two birds, one stone! All the best :)

[@richardbartlett6932]

How do you know how much powder to put on? Great video btw

[@SPANNERRASH]

I am sure there is some industry standard for this, but I can only give you what I have found. Once you can see it is coated stop, there is a temptation to put more on, but if you do, you get an orange peel effect when you cure it. I suppose it is a little like spray painting, if you are tempted to put that extra coat on, it runs :)

[@keesstam909]

You should only find a way to collect the powder that is "missing" the parts.

[@SPANNERRASH]

I suspect that 50% goes to waste, probably less if you are doing bigger items, but it doesn't seem to be too big an overhead for the results I have got. A reclamation system would be good.

[@matthewhalpin8351]

I would rather use a scaple than a hammer If you are not damaging anything have a closer look ...

[@SPANNERRASH]

I take your point, but it is suce a satisfying technique.
