How to Polish Powder Coatings - Ep 100

[@prostreetgsxr]

I think everyone would like to know what polish you used

[@steverabbits]

Did I miss it, what polish did you use with the machine?

[@Lilripper850]

Great video thank you. I just got my Wheels back from our local Powder Coat guy and the orange peel is horrible. They look like alligator print so I am going to attempt to block them down and polish them. Did you ever make the follow-up video? Thank you.

[@UnknownCoatings]

I dont think I did but I am going to add it to my list

[@Realloulow]

Money shot!. Nice work, inspired me to take on my powder coating polishing project.

[@UnknownCoatings]

Oh nice! I hope it turned out well!

[@elbarrio1303]

What polish was used?

[@Volksoner619]

Thank you. I just got my wheels back from powder coat and they look pretty good but there is noticeable orange peel. Definitely gonna go give this a try. Also, love that rugged man sample at the end. Underrated MC right there.

[@garyseeseverything8615]

Do you need to clearcoat on top of powder coat to get that smooth shine?

[@chipmcallister7349]

What’s the benefit to doing this? The wheels looked great from the beginning. What does he use for polish?

[@seanwilson402]

Texture leveling. You would get a better reflection.

[@seanwilson402]

Really any automotive polish should get out 3000 grit sanding marks

[@ruzzelserrano4464]

can you do sanding b4 applying clear coat to smooth some areas?

[@UnknownCoatings]

Yes on most solid tones. Metallics is a no. Candies you can but you risk making uneven areas of color if you aren't careful

[@turbulence8638]

please give some details on the polish, looking to remove some dog paw scratches on front door powder coat finish

[@UnknownCoatings]

any common polish for paint or plastic would work

[@turbulence8638]

Funny. I have same problem and just invested in a shock collar. Lol. Cape cod polishing clothes won’t work for these scratches. What you could try is running compound then polish like you would for automobile paint. For example 3m perfect it has 1 2 and 3 polish that may work. Go online and purchase a kit of it. Shouldn’t be that expensive. Let me know because I have the same problems at my house.

[@turbulence8638]

Rubbing compound *

[@_Johnny.B.Goode_]

I presume this would work on a prismatic ink black? There is no additional clear coat beyond the base. I have a small amount of brake fluid dribble a white stain on my calipers. I wonder if this technique will restore it.

[@UnknownCoatings]

yeah absolutely works on black, as far as removing the damage caused by fluid, I cant really say

[@staticxmako]

Did you clear these?

[@spydr202]

Would this method work on very small knicks on a power coated face? Similar wheels to these

[@strhunter666]

is this something you do for every customer or as an add on cost?

[@UnknownCoatings]

nah not for everyone lol

[@kewkew2]

Wow what prismatic color is this?

[@gagekopp7045]

So I’m 14 and I’m thinking of getting In to powder coating for some extra money when I get a job. What do you recommend for prep work and equipment

[@Blanco_5.0]

So I can use any polish for powder coat?? I was thinking about a cleaner wax, what that be ok for the coating?

[@davidfernandez790]

Great video! How can I remove light scuff mark on the face of a wheel finished in a brushed silver? I was thinking of starting with 2000,3000, polish?

[@jaybriault]

i got my bike frame back from being powder coated and its like sand paper. how can i make it smooth. thanks

[@UnknownCoatings]

Do you know the exact color you had done?

[@jaybriault]

@@UnknownCoatings matte black but looks like flat black

[@gatorguida4483]

Glad to see you again brother. What do you know about polishing Cerakote? I’m looking to do a bike exhaust and the deepest black that is heat rated is Glacier Black. But it’s not as glossy as I would like to see on it. Thoughts? Thanks and keep up the great videos. 👍

[@Raaaay66]

I’m in the same situation and would love to know the answer too!

[@ASapWheelie]

what do you use to edit your videos?

[@UnknownCoatings]

I use a software called INSHOT, its just an app for androids. Maybe apple too, not sure.

[@ASapWheelie]

@@UnknownCoatings wow ALL this is done with inshot? thats awesome

[@2806794]

Can you tell me how to get mirror like finish in clear coat fo uv printing steel almirah

[@UnknownCoatings]

not sure what that is

[@michelevitarelli]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to give this a try.

[@austinrydberg5850]

Hey man, I have the same cabinet as you right now I have a siphon feed gun and it is shit. It takes forever to sandblast even the smallest pieces. What setup would you recommend switching to ? Thanks in advance

[@TCLDesigns]

Do I need to apply gloss clear powder coat to cut and polish or will it work on gloss color?

[@UnknownCoatings]

It needs clear or to be a solid tone powder. No metallic or pearl. If it's a solid tone you do it the same way

[@bigtigga1981]

Do you recommend a clear coat with prismatic universe or the single stage has enough gloss

[@georgemyers6518]

Great video. I wondered about whether or not powder coating could be cut and polished. It looks to be the same process as cutting and polishing automotive paint. Please keep the videos coming

[@UnknownCoatings]

Absolutely

[@clydewebber4319]

What compounds did he use to cut and polish?

[@seanwilson402]

Meguiars m100 was used followed by m205

[@Quintos.]

Wow that's impressive work

[@shaneconrey8856]

Wondering what that color really is, because prismatic universe is black. I really like this color and trying to find it, that's how I found universe is black

[@UnknownCoatings]

they were prismatic universe as stated lol

[@danielf.l1381]

7 straight videos??? Sick

[@thepartsrunner5758]

Following along,... if this indeed was a real job as opposed to just a test, how is one to charge (realistically) for time on a job like this?

[@UnknownCoatings]

really a matter of determining your time and how much its worth

[@jalenpambid7333]

So start with 1200, 1500 then 2000. Can I polish by hand after? Just trying to remove some curb rash on the edges

[@UnknownCoatings]

yeah basically.

[@jalenpambid7333]

Don’t you need filler

[@KevinxDoll]

Molly has the cutest ears

[@jhammer929]

Hey man! Welcome back!! Another great video...and I love the new intro! 🔥🔥 How long did the whole process take for that one face, from start to finish?

[@seanwilson402]

You could probably spend 1-2 hours per face

[@jhammer929]

@@seanwilson402 Hey Sean! Thanks man. Totally worth the time, considering the end result. Great work!!

[@scottsv96]

I Polish powder coated vending machines at $100 a machine. 45 min each

[@alekseybu7092]

Thank you so much!!! Great experience👍

[@DeepStageCoatings]

Excellent vid

[@joshchambliss609]

Clutch video …thanks

[@danielf.l1381]

“7 days straight” bruh how you mess up on day 1 lol

[@jonboatmorava9115]

Awesome thanks

[@rubio90r]

still alot of orange peel left over. maybe start with 800k

[@UnknownCoatings]

Most of this was actually in the metal. These wheels were blasted before I got them, by someone with a super aggressive media. We actually stripped these and redid them and have a new tutorial coming out

[@micjohn701]

I can do that with my hands tied behind my back pffff!!! Just kidding! Awesome job thanks for sharing.

[@Pistonstrokes]

Theres a lot of talk on Instagram about you doing some frivolous things but a lot of folks are chiming in to be victims. I hope its all fake... Damn

[@UnknownCoatings]

Definitely isn't fake. Legitimately complaints and I assume it's the same group of 6 making the claims. As with anything in life it isn't always as cut and dry as someone says. I'll keep working to resolve the issue and the few of them who are being childish can keep that path if they choose. Won't let it change my willingness to help resolve the problem. And I won't stop putting out content to help others period.

[@eyecandycoatings7480]

Oh so now we the ones being childish huh. How about you man up to everyone and handle your shit instead of making excuses like you've been doing. If anyone is being childish its you. All us "childish" people want is our refund being that you obviously don't have the units but no you keep playing your "childish" games with everyone telling us you sent it out today but can't provide a tracking number then when called out about it, it's oh yeah sorry I I'm gonna be sending it out in a couples of days and this is back in October and now it's February and still no unit still no refund and no text or call back. Then I post asking how many people you owe money to and you delete my post and start moderating your page so you can pick and choose what people see and on top of all of this you have the nerve to tell me that I'm just trying to start drama when all I'm trying to do is get my refund back for a unit that you don't even have. Plus you've been using the same excuses to the ones that ordered back in July that are still waiting for a unit and now refund smfh. But yet we are the "CHILDISH" ones....??? Oh and so

[@UnknownCoatings]

@@eyecandycoatings7480 @Eye Candy Coatings no. I said some were being childish. Not all. You wouldn't be considered in thr group of people being childish.

[@SuperBuggerboo]

I realize this is old but I would feel remiss without commenting. I have never in my 41 years come across someone so willing and happy to share, teach, and even motivate absolute strangers. I have learned SO much about his industry, the very thing that puts food on his table from him for free. He doesn’t bombard us with requests to buy anything from him or support him financially in any way. It is for these reasons that I find it VERY hard to believe that this man is purposely being deceitful in anyway. Just look at his response here he doesn’t even deny that there was a legit complaint!! And that he’s trying to remedy it! Now read the response from eye candy coatings. I have watched countless hours of this man giving away all his trade secrets for free, I have emailed him with questions and received prompt professional and extremely helpful answers. I would 100% deal with Shawn without hesitation in the future.

[@asmith8088]

100% Great video 👍👍
