[@KilleenPTAC]

SORRY. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!

[@UnknownCoatings]

I appreciate the kind words, more vids coming!

[@colebarber452]

I'm always paying attention to how you hang different pieces. Most of the time they look pretty straight forward.

[@UnknownCoatings]

yeah most are pretty simple but sometimes I gotta get creative lol

[@eforewan]

Awesome how-to videos as always!

[@UnknownCoatings]

Glad you guys are enjoying them!

[@jrflores814]

Did some small pipes last week. And what i did instead was taped around the bump thinking the hose will cover that. But yeah should below off the powder. Or the plugs would of came in handy since the were about an 1" diameter.

[@UnknownCoatings]

yeah I dont like the tape lines mostly because it looks tacky in photos before install lol

[@jrflores814]

@@UnknownCoatings yeah i notice that. But first time doing pipes. Next time ill know

[@stiricky3745]

Going to coat my IC piping soon too. I was wondering how to hang the pipes on the rack. Thanks for sharing!

[@UnknownCoatings]

for sure, some great options listed. I use em all

[@6982dad]

Great videos man I do diy powder coating for myself and your videos helped me out a lot 👍, I'm in the uk

[@UnknownCoatings]

nice! reaching across the pond!!!!

[@darrenjones3118]

Hi Don’t get much pipe work, but makes a nice change when I do Great video Thanks Darren

[@UnknownCoatings]

yeah I do probably 20 sets a year or so. I like piping

[@tomasquiroz342]

Nice video so far, do you have a link for where you purchased your powered gun 🔫

[@UnknownCoatings]

Episode 23 goes over all my equipment and there is a link in the description

[@christophergerdmann6704]

Maybe you could do a video on tips and tricks for powder coating gloss black on flat surfaces. I do a lot of dirt track car wings, A/B pillars and end plates that are flat and gloss black is my most difficult color..

[@UnknownCoatings]

what style tip? a flat tip is GREAT for doing panels.

[@TheNutthouse1]

Love the channel. Need that plug kit.

[@UnknownCoatings]

Good luck!

[@2rich4yamate]

Could you use welding/magnet for earthing if no holes are present in the steel tube etc.

[@UnknownCoatings]

I assume so? Never tried it if im honest.

[@marcoscastro3794]

Good work 👍

[@UnknownCoatings]

Thank you!

[@bleedingmot10n]

Came out nice great content.

[@UnknownCoatings]

Thank you I appreciate it!

[@snowinak]

Blowout method 🤣 I'll have to try that

[@UnknownCoatings]

[@jscoatings1207]

You ever use that color as a base for a candy? I've been thinking about using a super metallic silver with a red candy for my personal calipers. Need to do a test piece first I guess lol.

[@UnknownCoatings]

nope, but I have been debating it. I typically just use Super Chrome or Heavy Silver

[@thekolorfactory7226]

I’ve used Alien silver as a base, it looks nice.

[@ColtonsDad]

Very nice. Great job as always!

[@UnknownCoatings]

I appreciate it !

[@JoshTolbertUrbana]

That Silverdillo looks sharp.

[@UnknownCoatings]

its an awesome color.

[@underestimatedgarage]

i was waiting for this video ..! thanks man

[@UnknownCoatings]

Ironically right after this video was made 3 sets of IC piping showed up. so expect more lol

[@underestimatedgarage]

Thats good tho man more great content is what we like to see and more when you explain better how to do videos !

[@derrickarmour]

I am trying to have my intercooler piping powdercoated and the company just messaged me saying their powdercoat will flake with excessive heat in my engine bay. Does this mean I can't go to any old powder coater and have my pipes done without a specialty powder ?

[@UnknownCoatings]

I have never had an issue and I have done hundreds of pipe setups. Sounds like your coater knows they don't do proper prep work ahead of time and will likely flake under extreme temps

[@urbanredneck8359]

Didn't see your email. But that video was fresh bro. To death. Lol

[@UnknownCoatings]

Its at the very end!

[@plusdaddyyt]

Question for ya .. if they are still in reg stage like fresh made piping that still Looks aluminum .. do u still have to blast them ?

[@UnknownCoatings]

Blasting is done to create a mechanical bond to the parts

[@UnknownCoatings]

So yes blasting is ideal. Now if you want to use the polished finish as your "base" for a candy color, you can do that as well but with limited impact resistance

[@danielh2637]

is your blow gun pressure regulated down any or are you just careful how much you pull the trigger?

[@UnknownCoatings]

its all trigger based, I love this particular gun because I modified the spring/trigger assembly

[@randythraen5091]

I never knew how many wheels had casting defects until I started powder coatings.

[@UnknownCoatings]

Yeah it's pretty wild

[@15brucet]

Looks great!

[@UnknownCoatings]

Thanks!!

[@wayneosullivan1549]

Nice pipe work beats doing wheel

[@UnknownCoatings]

nooooo wheels are life

[@wayneosullivan1549]

You mean bread & butter 👍🇬🇧

[@markgomez7640]

Did you have to or do gas out on this job

[@UnknownCoatings]

yeah I mention in this video!

[@yakswelding86]

What compressor do you have?

[@UnknownCoatings]

It was a Champion unit from TP tool

[@toriieastman5865]

Love the content

[@deepstagecoatings994]

You weren’t kidding about that hook just barely holding on. 😳 I would have been scared to try to remove the plug. I know I’d have dropped that piece.

[@UnknownCoatings]

ive done this enough to know, but I still get a little sketched out

[@tomrusso9368]
