👣 Step-by-Step Guide:
1️⃣ : Clean the Metal Objects
The first step to a successful powder coating job is to clean the metal objects thoroughly. Use a degreaser to remove any oils, grease, or other contaminants from the surface of the metal. Rinse the objects thoroughly with water and let them dry completely.
2️⃣ : Preheat the Objects
Preheating the objects helps the powder to adhere better and can prevent common issues like sagging or wrinkling. Place the objects in an oven or other heat source and heat them to the recommended temperature for the specific powder you are using.
3️⃣ : Apply the Powder
Once the objects are preheated, it's time to apply the powder. Load the powder coating gun with the material and adjust the settings to the recommended levels for the powder you are using. Place the objects in the powder coating booth and apply the powder in even, overlapping passes. Make sure to coat the objects thoroughly and from all angles to ensure an even, uniform finish.
4️⃣ : Bake the Powder
Once the objects are coated, they need to be baked to activate the curing process. Place the objects in an oven or other heat source and bake them according to the recommended time and temperature for the specific powder you are using.
5️⃣: Cool and Inspect the Objects
After baking, let the objects cool completely before inspecting them for any missed spots or defects. Touch up any areas that need attention, and then you're done!
By following these steps, you can easily powder coat at home and get professional results. Keep in mind that powder coating can be a bit tricky to master, so be patient and practice to get the best results. Remember to always use protective gear and work in a well-ventilated area to ensure your safety.

Here’s the link to the powder coat gun from Eastwood on Amazon amzn.to/3JAKs3n as they have the fastest shipping and tend to always have them in stock. It’s the one I’m using in the video, i’d also recommend Also recommended * Silicone hole plugs : amzn.to/40gogBf * Tape for sealing surfaces : amzn.to/3JskS0j amzn.to/3kXkn42 as far as the oven I’d recommend looking on facebook marketplace for a used oven to use, I got mine from a guy at work that was throwing it. Let me know if you have further questions I’m always here to help

[@barrycramer7394]

Great video, what blasting cabinet are you using, that works really well?

[@DrSidewayZ]

@@barrycramer7394 it’s actually a home built cabinet believe it or not they are quite easy to build

[@barrycramer7394]

@@DrSidewayZ well, that’s impressive, any details you care to share about your cabinet

Hey Thomas, hope all is well and that you’re having a good week thus far, i appreciate you taking the time to drop by and leave a comment. It means a lot to hear actually feedback from people so I thank you! I’m looking at doing a video on Cerakoting here soon. Do you have any other ideas that you’d might be interested in seeing done? Have a great rest of your week -Dr.SidewayZ

[@DrSidewayZBackup]

Same here! I definitely agree, straight and to the point!

[@No1cares85]

I'm defiantly gonna get into this. I highly recommend getting away from paper towels. they will leave residue. you can use muriatic acid for rust removal, but do your homework on that process it is mildly dangerous. Nice video!

[@DrSidewayZ]

I’m definitely going to look into that! The paper towels is definitely not ideal thanks for the insight

[@loscrimefighter1899]

Great video - been on the fence about powdercoating at home, but you sold me! Now, just gotta find an oven.....😁

[@DrSidewayZ]

[@DrSidewayZ]

Word appreciate you checking out the video so I’ve been using prismatic powders as of late and let me tell you their powders are far superior like hands down makes my little cheap setup look professional it’s really something else tbh! Definitely check them out

[@drivingdaily582]

Right on

[@chauffeurmarco]

I don't know about which camera you have used but It is a very high resolution. Real quality one.

[@DrSidewayZ]

Appreciate it I’m using a Sony A7SIII

[@chauffeurmarco]

@@DrSidewayZ Ah! the 35mm

[@MikefromMOMichaelTurner227]

Dude,,, what kind of blaster is that 😊? I liked the way it cleand. Lookd better than a regular blaster! Thanks for sharing the process 👍

[@DrSidewayZ]

It’s a vapor hone, it uses water and media to make a slurry. There are diy videos on here on how to build a home brewed one. I like how it keeps the dust down. 🤙🏻

[@EBPization]

Nice vid! You could connect the ground to a magnet like they do for welding and then stick that on the side of the piece that will not receive powder.

[@DrSidewayZ]

So some parts are non ferrous so honestly using the little clawed grounding clamp is ideal while a magnet may work the ionization of the air may attract to the part differently then if you’re welding

[@chip9832]

Nice guy

[@DrSidewayZ]

Thanks Chip

[@jimeric-mp7kf]

Hallo Dr.Sidewayz, hope you are well, you really doing some nice work there, lemmi ask you about the powders, what is the price and what are the quantities available, here in Kenya we have limited colours and only come in 20kg packages,

[@DrSidewayZ]

Hey Jim hope all is well, are you able to order on Amazon? I personally order from www.prismaticpowders.com/gallery They have a crazy amount of selection

[@keenenschaaf3834]

Is sand blasting comparable with the vapor honing? Trying to get into powder coating and want to know what I need.

[@DrSidewayZ]

Yeah you can achieve a finer finish with vapor hone and it’s less dusty but industry standard is to sandblast prior to powder coat

[@chauffeurmarco]

Why using gun powder instead spraypaint gun? Is it because it is less messy?

[@DrSidewayZ]

The powder is extremely more durable then paint

[@broderp]

Super simple, but still not practical. Unless you do multiple part regularly, it's still less hassle to have someone else do it. You may pay more, but you have no setup, no proprietary tool you will never use again, and you drop off and pick up your part. If you factor in having to to get an oven and mask then it's cheaper to have it does by a pro.

[@DrSidewayZ]

My oven was free, the gun was $159, you can get by using a wire brush and sander for parts, my mask was $23, some of us can’t afford taking our stuff to “pros” whom want to charge $200+ for a power steering pump that is less the 5x5x5 requiring it to be disassembled and cleaned prior. It’s honestly a joke tbh i understand having a business but it doesn’t justify highway robbery.

[@user-gu6nj8lf3w]

How about just not being lazy. I think this young man has a proactive mindset and a bright future ahead. I own the same gun and bought my setup with similar ideas in mind although I utilize mine to powder coat cast lead bullets. I can pick the colors I want, vary the thickness at will, do it at my convenience or rush, once I buy the powder, I have plenty to coat other items. I have been using mine to make custom powder coated aluminum cups for people I know. I take the tops of regular soda pop cans, use high temp tape to lay out simple designs, and blast away. I get $10.00 per coated can that I paid $0.50 plus another $0.50-$1.00 for powder. Just when it seems I won't ever need/use it again, I have someone ask me to do some powder coating. It was a very small investment that has already paid for itself several times over. Just the powder coated bullets has already saved me money on bullet lube, chemicals and patches to clean the lead out of my barrels...not to mention my labor plus I can now recover 90-95 percent of my lead after firing due to the bright colors. Try paying someone to go recover your raw lead bullets from a hillside...
