DIY Harbor Freight Powder Coating System. Unboxing & First Use

[@kenhdog]

Good video. Raw experience. I learned a lot. Good dry unforced humor is a definite plus. Thanks for sharing.

[@garagemcmatt]

Thanks bro, plenty more sarcasm and dry humor in my other videos too

[@dylanbader1771]

Video cracked me up 😂 it’s perfect for people that want the truth 😂 when you said yeah thats alot of powder I about lost it 😂😂😭😭😭

[@garagemcmatt]

I switched over to the Eastwood dual voltage gun. So much better and only $30 more

[@dylanbader1771]

The bucket blew off 😂😂😂 im cryingggg

[@garagemcmatt]

Yeah day 1 with that gun was definitely a learning curve

[@mikewisher4083]

Cool little video man . Think as you put the air pressure down a little you'll get better results

[@garagemcmatt]

Yeah I messed with the reg on the compressor itself and came out a little better. I'll get it dialed in ty for the comment

[@actionislive69]

What's good my dude lest go with harbor freight. Want to try it out myself getting one this weekend. PEACE

[@garagemcmatt]

gotta mess with the pressure regulator. it works better turning the built in knob on the compressor itself came out way better

[@actionislive69]

@@garagemcmatt hell yeah hope it works good I'm trying it this weekend on some old parts I got around myself. Can't wait to c what's next bro PEACE

[@garagemcmatt]

@@actionislive69 definitely start with some test pieces

[@olm911]

If you like granite, mix white and black 50/50. Thanks for the content.

[@garagemcmatt]

I'll test it out on a blank. Thanks for watching

[@lambda4931]

Great video! What pressure worked the best and is the powder coated surface durable?

[@garagemcmatt]

10-15 psi and the durability is all in the prep and the quality of the powder you use. But yes it's holding up well

[@darrynruzicka2883]

@@garagemcmatt 10-15 PSI. Eastwood gun, Prismatic powder is the best. Sand blast part first, then soak in acetone for 15 minutes, then degass by baking at 450 for 45 minutes, then soak in acetone again for 15 min, then with new gloves use hi-temp silicone tape tape for any taping also plugs. preheat oven to 225, preheat part. hang or place on rack then coat. place in oven at 425 for 45 minutes or whatever Prismatic spec sheet recommends. That's how you get pro results!

[@garagemcmatt]

@darrynruzicka2883 I switched to the Eastwood gun since this video and the results are night and day

[@ALDA2479]

I think hanging the part instead of laying it flat would also help a lot

[@garagemcmatt]

I'm gunna try it with some springs next and hang those. This part I didn't want any powder on the bottom

[@ALDA2479]

@GarageMC Right I personally never done it but I have watched it be done few times and I was told they hang it because it allows for a mist more then a blod basically and allows for all the excess to be able to settle to the ground rather then build up the piece of course these aren't the exact words I'm looking for but sometimes I'm semi slow

[@garagemcmatt]

@@ALDA2479 lol. I got the pressure figured out now I messed with it some more after the video I think I have it dialed in pretty good now

[@mikecolwell5387]

I do powdercoating on the side, and many problems here matt..lol Pressure is way to high, your to close to the part , and that gun sucks lol😂 best bet is to return it and buy eastwood dual voltage for like extra $25 it's 100x better and the low setting allows you to get in tight spots and finish comes out like glass

[@garagemcmatt]

I'll check one out. I seen those too I just am a little kid and wanted it NOW

[@eprohoda]

Salut~ how gorgeous !;))

[@garagemcmatt]

It came out ok for the first try

[@867diesel]

Did you get this thing dialed in ?

[@garagemcmatt]

I swapped to the Eastwood gun, way better for $30 more

[@stuartewoldt1513]

Maybe crank down the regulator pressure

[@garagemcmatt]

I had it on less then 10 psi. I got it working pretty good since then. I ended up upgrading to a Eastwood gun.....way better

[@OlsonKustomWorks]

I have the same gun. For some reason the canisters of the powder are a different thread than the canister that comes with the gun....wtf harbor freight

[@garagemcmatt]

Same here. I just went to the Eastwood dual voltage gun. Way way better and it's only $130

[@DennisHeath68]

Maybe reduce the pressure...lol

[@garagemcmatt]

Ended up upgrading to the Eastwood gun. Even with the pressure turned down on the harbor freight one it would blast it out when u first squeeze the trigger
