How to Powder Coat - The COMPLETE Beginners Guide To Powder Coating - Eastwood

[@curtisjmwc]

This video just made you guys $500 or so. Wife loves to paint and DIY and I sell industrial ovens. I’m placing an order right now.

[@LookSpec]

this sounds obvious but learning the actual science behind this made it a lot easier to understand how it works and what to do

[@aaronmurray9257]

Man what a great video, I may be getting a powder coating job soon this was very helpful

Awesome information. Thanks for the video. Give Joe a fat raise.

[@kenny4813]

Thank you I'm going to an interview for Powder Coating position this really boosted my confidence

[@eastwoodco]

Best of luck, Kenny. Eastwood is cheering for you! 🤞 -JD

[@blackbear92201]

Very helpful video - tons of info, examples, everything is clearly spelled out. Thanks for posting! :D

[@KeithHilderbrand]

Since watching this video I ordered the 250 gun. Video was well done and learned a lot. Thank you

[@eastwoodco]

That's great! We hope you enjoy it.

[@xinzou-l5f]

Do you still need powder coating guns now?

[@BellozeCountry]

Great for intelligent learning, I will be attempting now, thanks for d information. 😊

[@uppitywhiteman6797]

Eastwood, always comprehensive.

[@normanbreis7608]

Very nice tutorial bro. Thanks

[@Herecomesjonny-sz1ru]

Great insights!

[@Lunatheterror]

Thank you this was very helpful

[@fastboyz3]

The starter kits on the website are perfect for beginners. Have ones with compressor and without for reasonable prices … just need powders before you’re spraying!! And obviously of course your own stove.

[@tedbastwock3810]

This is a great video and I really appreciate it. One thing I dont understand is why we can use a device using 15,000 V to 100,000 V to apply the powder but it is unsafe to use a 120 V appliance to clean up the powder off the floor. Im wanting to begin powder coating. The two biggest issues I need to work out are oven and clean up.

[@petergraphix6740]

Because the powder coating system is typically operating in a grounded state as a single system. That is your gun and the part have the a similar voltage potential which limits the energy transfer in any potential sparks. When it comes to the vacuum you're not dealing with the 120V system sparking. Instead the vacuum imparts energy into the dust leading to the system behaving like a capacitor and storing a very large amount of energy. Even then this will most often discharge without you ever being aware that it happened and no fire. Until that day you get a bit lazy and let a lot of dust build up, then the spark happens to occur right where the correct fuel air mixture exists. This flame wave front blasts more powder in front of it up into the air causing a massive deflagration and your shop burns to the ground.

[@Scamhater007]

thank you for this tutorial

[@eastwoodco]

You're welcome 😊

[@slushiih2]

Ive been using the dual voltage system for about a month, and im so so happy with it. I want to get the nicer psc1000 because if the gun I have is doing this great of a job I could only imagine how good the psc1000 would be. However it is a bit pricey and im not totally sure if buying the gun is worth it because I've found it really easy to buy a handful of those bottles and just fill them with powder and screw them onto the gun when I need a new one and I find that really simple and cheap. So I mean to ask is the psc1000 worth it. Because I can say for sure that the dual voltage gun was worth every single penny spent on it.

[@DonkeyBong490]

The PCS1000 is actually REALLY shitty and 100% not worth the price. Get a Hypersmooth or even a EZ-50 is better. We have amazing results with our EZ-50 as a backup, far better than any Eastwood or entry level gun in that range can do.

[@slushiih2]

@@DonkeyBong490 Ok thanks, I'm going to look right into it!

[@slushiih2]

@@DonkeyBong490 I just looked into both and i think that the ez50 is exactly what I want. Does the powder flow smoothly and stick well? Those are my main complaints about my current gun.

[@DonkeyBong490]

@@slushiih2 Yes, it really is a great little gun that we use often. It does multi coat much better than the Eastwood offerings and it's far more affordable. A proper grounding rod set up will make a huge difference from what you are used to with your dual voltage gun in terms of adherence into those faraday cage areas.

[@EgyRaven]

Thanks for your valuable information. I would like to know what is the minimum temperature should the oven reach before entering my parts?

[@eastwoodco]

We bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@izzytinker]

Nice clear vid, appreciate that thanks

[@eastwoodco]

Glad it helped

[@lexispapi]

So would you recommend pcs 150 if I’m just going to be doing tumblers. Biggest one being 40 oz? Thanks!

[@eastwoodco]

We'd say the 150 will totally be great for Tumblers but we'd recommend the 250 so you can tackle some bigger projects once you get more comfortable! 150 - www.eastwood.com/pcs150-hotcoat-powdercoating-diy-system.html 250 - www.eastwood.com/pcs250-dual-voltage-hotcoat-powder-gun.html

[@indylive4926]

what kind of powdercoat are you using on engine parts that are a high heat part? What is the best way to powdercoat a 55 gallon drum for a smoker? Great video BTW!

[@eastwoodco]

Hey thanks, Indy, Powder is designed to "flow out" (basically, it just melts) at 400F, right. As long as you're not getting close to that hot, you'll be ok. So for a smoker, you're looking at about 250F - 275F max, right? At that temp, any of our powder is going to be rock solid. For really high heat, we have high-temp paints that will hold up to 650F, but valve covers, wheels, springs, and most underhood components don't get near the 400F required to re-melt powder. -JD

[@eastwoodco]

Side note: be careful not to contaminate any food with powder, or paint.

[@indylive4926]

@@eastwoodco some smoking might be at 350-375 If someone wants to do chicken or some sides. I know gateway says to not exceed 410 on the season process.

[@RanGer-498]

Why are you guys still selling the old non clear bottles and did you fix the sealing problem of powder coming out with the gun and bottle/canister threading? On my older unit i had to make my own seal to stop the powder from seeping through the canister and threading of the gun..so much powder wasted.

[@AdrianCortes-b7f]

Superb video!

[@eastwoodco]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@itsapphiadionisio3817]

QUESTION: is it viable to use two powder coating guns in one target? Like for example a car rim or bigger target? If so, does it both requires to be grounded to the target, or one gun is enough to be connected and be grounded to the target?

[@eastwoodco]

I suppose you could? I don't think it's viable though. Once the part is 100% covered in powder, you're done. 1 gun is more than capable of 100% coverage on larger parts. Maybe if you really wanted to coat things quickly, but there's really no reason to rush with powder coating. It doesn't matter where your ground comes from. Stick a copper rod into the earth and ground off of that if you want. As long as the part is grounded, the charged cloud of powder will want to stick to it. -JD

[@Vet-zj5lq]

Great video!!!

[@Zzzzzzzzz678]

Nicley presented

[@JohnLopez-jt1cj]

Do you have to strip the chrome off a fishing guide and there's a piece of plastic ring in it?

[@eastwoodco]

You'll have to strip off any chrome in order for the powder to stick. Also, that plastic ring will (probably) melt in the 400 degree F baking process. I'd try gently popping it out of the guide. Hopefully it isn't glued in. -JD

[@JohnLopez-jt1cj]

Thank you

So how’s it work with a panel that needed body work (added bondo or putty to even it out) ??

[@twopiecez5226]

Can I also powder coat some motorcycle flairing( plastic/fiber) materials???

[@eastwoodco]

No - the material has to be able to withstand 400 degrees when it's put on bake.

can you paint two color gradient effect ?

[@toycollector10]

Hi, is it legal to send powder through the mail system? Thanks.

[@eastwoodco]

Yes, it is

[@melvinmartinez5144]

Can I spray the powder in a fan booth with air filters?

[@xinzou-l5f]

Maybe it is better to use powder coating spray gun,I think.

[@oneill899]

Hi just wondering what brand name and type of regulator you are using on the gun?

[@SongWhisperer]

Would the 250 be good enough to powder coat bumpers.

[@SongWhisperer]

Can you do a 2 tone powder coat, can you do multiple layers of powder coat?

[@eastwoodco]

If you mean metal bumpers - yes the PCS 250 can handle that. You can do multiple coats and 2 tones with some extra prep work. We plan on doing something with that soon.

[@SongWhisperer]

@@eastwoodco • Thank you very much for the reply.

[@genadinecariaga810]

Can you spray a spray paint clear coat over powder coating?

[@eastwoodco]

You'd have to scuff the surface - but they're two different approaches to top coating. We also offer clear powder coat for exactly that reason. www.eastwood.com/hotcoat-powder-super-gloss-clear.html

[@shadows4775]

Can you powder coat If alloy wheels have aluminium filler in them?

[@twogs1]

Can I powder coat the inside of my home oven

[@eastwoodco]

A home oven is capable of baking the powder - we recommend a dedicated oven for food safety.

[@twogs1]

What i meant is I have a double stack oven that got damaged by baking with foil paper bon the bottom. I want to refinish the bottom with powder coating so I don't have to keep looking at it

[@eastwoodco]

No that won't work - Powder melts at 400 degrees - so as soon as you bake something it will re-flow.

[@MrSims-ky2ne]

I always hear powder is zero voc and safe, but then hear the never use the same oven as food. So it's not so safe.

[@eastwoodco]

Safe doesn't mean edible. Toothpaste is safe, you shouldn't eat it. Lego bricks are safe, don't eat them. Nuclear power is safe, don't eat uranium. -JD

cost of powder ?
