[@modularmayhem6339]

Good Video. I've been powder coating for about 15 years now and started with the Eastwood gun. For those wanting to get into powder coating, remember to tape off the areas you don't want powder to get in and also its always easier and uses less powder if you heat the part up and then shoot it. it doesn't have to be a set temp, I usually shoot it after its been in the oven at 400 degrees. It will get inside the tight spaces easier because it hits "flow out" the second it touches the part.

[@curtisboisjolie2535]

cool stuff youngster. I've never actually seen a powder coating performed, I had the loose idea of how it was performed but I never seen the gun in action and stuff. So thank you very much for that, you seem to be very knowledgeable young man and time and Society you got a upper hand on a lot of these big mouth know it all people who actually are worth pretty much nothing period keep it up!

[@nickburns31]

Good Stuff.. I bought the Eastwood setup 3 years ago and haven't opened the box yet.. You just motivated me

[@adampaganelli4891]

Awesome man, Get that thing spraying!

[@kieranmann9761]

awesome!! You and Cameron are two of the best on KZbin. Very cool shout out to Cameron in this video!! Showing much class.

[@billpeirce7127]

Wow!!!!! Gorgeous chrome red. 😁👍👍👍❤

[@vinm300]

Oh, that's interesting. The red is translucent and allows the chrome to gleam through. I wondered how they got that effect. Good video.

[@nathanokun8801]

I once saw a home-rebuilt custom 1930s automobile at a car show and the person had used a silver/chrome undercoat and 22 layers of different colors of what was called "Kandicoat" (not sure of spelling) translucent top layers. The entire car looked like it was a ever-changing liquid rainbow of the old merthiolate first-aid liquid. It was blindingly beautiful. It took him six months to paint it.

[@ourv9603]

I became familiar with powder coating for exterior parts. Jeep steps, Jeep bumpers, tow bars & such. 1 complaint I have is the finish loses it shine REAL quick. I used to shoot a coat of gloss black paint over it to restore it. BUT, my biggest complaint, maybe because it is in an outdoor environment is by & by the metal under the coating will begin to rust. And soon you will see the coating start to lift, then, fall off. Maybe, under the hood powder coating does not suffer this, but outside it sure does. Currently, the steps on my motorhome are a mess. I have removed them from the coach & disassembled them in my garage and am in the process of removing the coating & sanding off all the rust. I intend to use gloss black paint on the arms & I bought some truck bed spray for the steps themselves. If the steps start to look bad in the future, I just grab a rattle can & give em a shot. Good as new. You cant do that with powder coating. No, I am not a powder coat fan. I will wager a guess that powder coating is used by mfgs because it is probably cheaper to coat a part than painting. And/or quicker. I'm willing to bet. !

[@oldfellafpv7770]

hi bro good results but wow what a process... i have powder coated in factories for a living and the settings on the gun are 25 for coating 10 is for second coating over powder coated parts.. on our guns we half the voltage to re coat or second coat the part ... ...we de grease part then acid etch it rinse then chuck it in the oven to dry and degas it ..use paint prep on it..then air dry it with compressed air then spray it then bake it all part come out flawlessly with full adhesion .. prep takes about 20 min withoven preheated to 214 deg c... not picking on you you have done an awsome job just seems like alot of exta work

[@adampaganelli4891]

Are the parts you guys paint brand new? This part requires a good amount of preparation since it has been through 16 years of riding in all types of dirt and wether

[@TheStanglovr]

Great video, I’ve been watching Cameron for ever and happened across your YZ250 build. Great explanation of the process and great work. You guys inspire a lot of people to try this out. Keep up the great work!

[@HeroRR]

Amazing work! I learned a lot from this video, thanks for uploading!

[@krisstathakopoulos7409]

Legit !!! Man nice stuff making it work from your home garage. Very creative and making it look professional.

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thank you man glad you enjoyed the video🤟🏼

[@ericg2167]

Call me old but I like the chrome look by itself. Never powder coated before but your video has got me thinking. Thanks.

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thank you! Give it a shot

[@valentinvalentin383]

Hello, excellent result! What brand of chrome powder paint did you use? I want to try it too, I liked it.

[@nicholasodonnell6884]

Hi m8 on your sandblasting cabinet is it a sbc 420 And what cmf is your compressor Thanks nick

[@CraftwerksMC]

Great looking results. I've been doing powered coating for a while and just have not had a chance to get into the multi-layer stuff with the chrome finishes but I've got a few projects coming up where customers want the new shiny finishes so I'm glad to see any advice on doing the candy and chrome finishes!

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thank so much 🤟🏼

[@sergiolenarduzzi4670]

That candy red looks really sharp.. Bravo

[@ThomasBarone]

Impressive knowledge and skills for such a young man!

[@RexEdwards]

Outstanding result. Wow!! And very good explanation step by step. I now have to try this. The chrome was unreal. If you leave it chrome, do you need to clear coat it?

[@irishstunter1715]

Yes clear coat for extra protection

[@600miles]

I use Prismatic as well as well as I love going in person to pick up my materials. If you ever get the chance go check out their upstairs with all the color swatches, it looks like Christmas ! Also I have that same Eastwood gun and I like it better with tip diffuser removed - use less powder.

[@outdoorzone]

Nice demo!! Prismatic super chrome is the best! I use it a lot with their illusion line! So amazing!!

[@drakkorvladimir4012]

I have had the same gun sitting in my shop for a long time. After your video, I am ready to try it out. One question......Do you have to heat (Bleed out) aluminum that is not cast? I will be starting with 1/8 in thick 6061 that comes from sheet stock.

[@philipspooner7005]

cool vid , i would do the shock body gloss bronze or chrome cheers

[@bobcalgarycanada8582]

Turned out Amazing👍👍👍

[@Luque956]

Idk wat I stumbled into but I like it! Badass!!

[@DIEZ919191]

It's exactly what I was looking for!!! Many thanks for this video!!! I realized that I'll need too much special equipment to do it by myself...anyway, great job!!!

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks man!

[@k.nguyen9203]

Amazing video with amazing results!!! Great job bro. 💪🙌

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks for watching 🤟🏼

[@moustachemike7128]

wounder for better over spray control if ya used a sand blast cabinet or spray booth will help..

[@adampaganelli4891]

I started using a small spray booth. A blaster wouldn’t be a bad idea actually but it takes up a lot of space. I would eventually like to have a Pcv pipe set up for spraying

[@jennifermcguinness840]

I would like to see a chrome blue. That would look cool 😎

[@handyman6366]

Just a super job !! from France Normandie. Thank you, Gabriel, for all of your videos! I am working and my 125 CR 2007 ...Want the same!

[@jamesrobert7155]

Man that looks really good, my friend and I just bought a trailer load of dirt bikes to restore, I'll definately be looking into doing some of this!!

[@adampaganelli4891]

Awesome I’m glad my channel is helping you!

[@josephmartin7381]

Thanks for the vid, the hubs came out sick. I just got a gun from Eastwood and a couple of different colors from Prismatic, can't wait to see the results.

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thank so much 🤟🏼

[@freyawang3595]

Nice work! you need one of our star powder coating guns i think, it will make your work more easy and perfect.

[@thomassylvestro9041]

So nice What oven are you using?

[@three27sbable]

Great videos man, keep up the great work. Question what are you running for a compressor and tip size and CFM/psi at the cabinet.

[@600miles]

NIC Prismatic is the BEST ! 7000 colors. They have a lot of how to powder coat videos. You don't need to use Eastwood Paint Prep - Why pay shipping on Acetone? Did you use high temp silicone tape? Spray it hot - it's called Hot Flocking. You can paint glass and other things that have Bondo on them by Hot Flocking

[@jessebruce3198]

Wow.....awesome job, love the red.

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks, that red is awesome isn’t it!

[@smillish]

Slick! Good job on the hubs and the vid, thanks again.

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thank you!!

[@fullyford]

so I noticed that the second part went in the oven with the masking tape on and came out with it off. are you suppose to unmask while its still hot. just wondering how the unmasking went

[@inkloverdom]

Silver always works witb red. I would use that for the shock.

[@quintinmetcalfe8587]

Did you not need to tape off the holes for the spokes?

[@capeman10]

New Subscriber. Great Job, I am looking to get back in the Hobby myself, with 2 gas offs you are the man, they are a must to the perfectionist.

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks man I’m glad you enjoyed the videos!

[@davidhill7234]

Dang that looks so awesome!

[@outdoorzone]

Reynolds wrap Press n seal works great for masking off just remove prior baking as it will shrink up!

[@alejandra28arbes79]

Hola...what is required temperature before you start a base coat super chrome or any paint?

[@carlosflores6142]

Can you give the chrome look to any color or only specific colors

[@ccdme891]

Really good job man that would also look killer in a light or dark blue!!

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video! I agree I will probably do that on a Yamaha sometime soon.

[@georgialtanov4561]

It's great video. Can i ask you a question. I want to powder coat my brake calipers, but originaly has a logo. Can i powder it, put a logo and then put some clear coat on the top to prevent logo from scratch?

[@adampaganelli4891]

Yes

[@nikolosperivolotis415]

Did you have any powder build up on the spokes when rebuilding the wheel

[@deangraves908]

do you have any tricks to getting an even coat when using translucent colors? I have the eastwood dual voltage gun but I can't seem to get an even coat. Does that rubber piece make that big of a difference? I don't usually use it actually aha

[@TT-hu2hd]

What is your settings on the temperature gun please ? we need to use the same emissivity as raw steel ? Thanks!

[@Im1CrazyCow]

Looks good Young man, I have some info that may help you, when you heat up the part the first time then clean and reheat you should NOT have to do that if you get a Steam Cabinet....I will say first check with the Company you buy your Products from BC they may have something in the formula that does not like a steam cleaned parts... OK back to the Steam Clean Cabinet...... WE use them for Cleaning BIG parts, like Engine blocks or Transmissions its like a Pressure cooker for parts it will make your prep alot faster and you wont need to buy the cleaner once its run through the cabinet you can go right to your First coating.....again check with maker of Product first but we used to do it with Show Parts for my Chevelle years ago with NO issues! They go by a few names, parts washer.....(NOT the fluid de-grease kind) normally they are like a Pressure cooker of sorts they will have a Locking handle because they get HOT! If you want to do it on the CHEAP go find an OLD Dishwasher Preferably stainless steel inside ......u can use that too for about 85% or more of the same results.... we have used them at the race track a few times and ran parts through the high heat cycle 2x , after 30 mins you get brand new part.......again this is the cheap way and i cant say how long it will last but for a few items a year and you can put it away when not in use it might work for you!! Good Luck EDIT: oh just thought of another you can use but they will cost you some $$ is a Heated Pressure washer like they type you clean deck with ......they come in high heat but go for 2500 ish....but if find one some one is getting rid off..hell free is free!! Cow}:-o)

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks for the advice! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@scubahsteve69]

Did you consider using Prismatics Top Coat Clear as the final spray? Thought I read where it helps protect the final finish? Looks great though!

[@demon817]

Hi, I in a location that I can't get the caned spray wipe down spray what other commonly use product could I use via rubbing alcohol ??? ECT. THANKS.

[@nOnecares623]

bro you look tense loosen up dont worry your doing a great job on cam!!

[@spencerhultquist1214]

You should paint the shock body and frame black have the red hubs and get blue rims. I think the bike would look sick with a modern red white and blue look to it

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks for the input! We’ll keep it in mind!

[@zainudinajaxajax]

Adam u so smart guys,brilliant make over cr honda,luv ur video n you,hope will meet u

[@tobbisenbrandt7508]

What did you do with the holes to the spokes?

[@connersnow298]

Awesome vid and edits and filming and bike and method

[@rickneipp2014]

What color red was that over the super chrome? I was looking at the Dazzling Red over super chrome and that looks a lot like it.

[@MrNiceseb]

Do you collect and reuse these powders again? Seems wasteful not to?

[@philb707]

Any info on the sandblaster cabinet? Great video by the way

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thank you! I picked up the blaster locally it is a pretty simple industrial sized one. Big thing to watch for when you buy one is if it has its own vacuum and other then that you want a good compressor.

[@Surron_Dave]

Could you also use aluminum oxide media for powder prep? I'm going to be cerakoting as well, and that's the media that they recommend using. 100 grit specifically.

[@adampaganelli4891]

Yes absolutely! Great media for powder coating as well!

[@Surron_Dave]

@@adampaganelli4891 So i keep getting some fisheyes on cast aluminum parts, is this typical? I removed a casting mark on a caliper hanger from a front nissin caliper, and noticed that the finish on the part where i have removed the casting mark is very smooth, and doesnt have fish eyes like the rest of the part. Do you have any tips to get a smooth finish on parts that have small crevices like calipers? I guess i'm shooting for a super deep smooth finish, maybe its not achievable on these cast parts without polishing first.

[@adampaganelli4891]

Do you have Instagram?

[@Surron_Dave]

Power Sports Builds sure do. I’ll send you some pics later

[@brunosmoky772]

Man that’s just amazing ! I want do it on some parts of my bike but do I need all this equipment ? Is there’s a way to do it without using all the fancy tools or ? Great job man so professional!

[@SirloinBeefBurger]

That gun is $200 and get a used kitchen oven. Done.

[@odd-erik6556]

Is it possible to cerakote hubs aswell?

[@oldprophet]

Oh man, nice! very helpful indeed. great vid, thanx.

[@alessandroguidi5913]

Hi, good job man but I have a question, why do you paint when the object is very hot and not at normal temperature? I see a lot of videos where people paint with ambiental temperature. Maibe you tell this on the video but I don’t understand because I don’t speak good english. Thanks!

[@adampaganelli4891]

The first coat is fine to do at room temperature but the second coat a little heat will help it stick on better

[@kevinhancock4064]

Look fab nice work

[@burtcalhoun9706]

true thing of beauty. keep up the good work...thanks

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@adrynasution2615]

Just curious, when sandblasting, should we mask off the bearing mating surfaces? (not sure what there are called) seats?

[@adampaganelli4891]

It doesn’t hurt but if you forget to you can always scrub out the sand with some degreaser and scotch brite after

[@myname2263]

Do you have to degas all parts ?

[@owpeterj]

That’s one very fine finish you’ve achieved - Just of great interest, how resilient to solvents - typically oil based stuff. A really beautiful job litl bro - you’ll be having a lot of fun and so on..👌

[@davidhollyfield9712]

First video I have watched of yours and I subscribe thanks for the videos hopefully you can answer some questions if I have any thanks

[@davidhollyfield9712]

So what powder was it you said you used for that Chrome?

[@stephengordon1005]

What color is that? Red powder? Is that the name of that particular prismatic color?

[@rd2fst]

looks sick. You might already know this but temp guns wont give an accurate reading when you shoot something reflective.

[@adampaganelli4891]

Yes, in this case I usually try and shoot it at a point on the part where it reflects onto another area on the part.

[@Kendrickshayesjr]

Can you get this same result with alloy parts or does it have to be stripped down to chrome??

[@bjputvain]

So I’m having issues with center caps on tires. How does everyone do center caps after they do the rims?

[@inkmaster71]

where did you get your over for powdercoat and what kind is it

It should be linked in the video description

[@videosambumbio323]

Can I powder coat my Suzuki RMZ450 frame?

[@tdel8613]

what kind of air compressor have you been using for the blast cabinet? Been reading up on a lot of forums stating you need some beefy specs to maintain blasting for more then a couple minutes.

[@adampaganelli4891]

I’m using a older one doesn’t have crazy power or anything it’s like 5.8 at 90 cfm I think. Does the job, occasionally I will have to let the compressor catch up if going full on for a bit. The key when your running a smaller compressor is to make sure you have clean air because the small compressor will get hot and add moisture into your air

[@GabeMouldy]

I'm looking to get into powder coating myself. This way super cool to watch the process. I'm basically wanting to do dirt bike, ATV, and automotive stuff. So the dirt bike hubs really hit close to home. The color was awesome. I even thought the chrome actually looked good as well. I am curious what you are doing for the wheels and spokes as well. Again I'm super impressed and you made it look so easy. I had a few questions though. For the masking off the surface area's, what kind of tape did you use? For the chrome finish, could you use a clear powder coat to really make it shine? Not sure if you've experimented with that. Are you planning on applying a clear powder to the hubs? Or would that not change anything. As for the shock body black or a darker bronze or cooper color would look bitchin I think. Keep up the good work,

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks man! -I use high heat masking tape it comes with the Eastwood gun. - yes if you only use chrome you need to put a clear coat over or it will loose it’s shine. -And no need to use a clear coat on what I did since that top coat is strong!

[@Simpleman1078]

@@adampaganelli4891 so you don't actually have to ground it to whatever your powder coating cuz it looks like you said you grounded it to the metal bar you welded up to hang it from her whatever....

[@adampaganelli4891]

You don’t have to attach it to the part but you have to attach the ground to something that’s conductive and attached to the part. That way the part is also grounded

[@als3449]

Was the first coating a primer

[@bjputvain]

Can someone please help me understand? I’m very new to this i just bought a 4x4x6 oven that we haven’t even got in yet but I’m doing as much research as i can. The question i have I’ve watched on KZbin and seen hundreds of different answers. My question revolves around multiple coats and clear. 1) everything i see says you should always use a clear coat for durability and to keep the chrome colors bright. 2) where I’m confused is multiple colors for example if i do chrome and let it cure as recommended do i put the transparent on when hot or back at room temp? 3) when putting on the transparent color i put back into oven. Let part get to tell and do the recommended cure time. ( will the chrome coat being cured twice hurt it)? 4) when that comes out do i add the clear when hot or room temp? After i add the clear and put in oven and let part get to temp and cure at recommended temp. ( will the chrome coat going through 3 cycles and the transparent 2 cycles hurt them)? I can’t seam to find anything on this that’s consistent

[@adampaganelli4891]

1 yes you should use a clear for chrome if you are leaving it as chrome. If you put another color on top that will act as the clear coat. 2 Depends on your shooting set up, prismatic powders recommends spraying second coat at room temperature. (They are assuming you have a professional powder gun). Eastwood gun which I use does not have the power to do this so I need to wait until the part cools to 150 degrees Fahrenheit and then spray.

[@adampaganelli4891]

3- Curing the chrome twice will not hurt it.

[@adampaganelli4891]

4- I have never done 3 coats so I would not be able to assist you with this accurately

[@bjputvain]

Thank you for yr wealth of knowledge i appreciate it. One last question i have the Eastwood duel stage or duel volt powder. With this should i wait for my prism powder to hit room temp or the 150? Is that why they have duel volts so one is first coat and second level for second coat.? So knowing what i have what do u suggest for my second coat? Room or 150? Thanks again

[@adampaganelli4891]

That’s the same gun I use so I recommend 150. I recommend using the high voltage setting unless it’s not sticking in some places that’s why you want to switch to the lower setting

[@SprayIgniteBoom]

looks fantastic!!!!

[@АндрейКарпишук-и7в]

Превосходная работа!!

[@martina20201]

[@chrismargarum6863]

You need to screw that defuser out a little more to, the powder is blowing out sideways to much, you don't have to blow with it in on bigger stuff to, its alot easier

[@BIGB-TOWN]

What PSI were you running? Also it looked like you were laying some heavy coats, does that help with the durability of the finish?

[@adampaganelli4891]

Not super heavy you want to be somewhere in the middle and 8-10 for powdercoating
