Powder Coating Guide (CRAZY RESULTS)

In this video, I show you the exact process I use to powder coat. I will be powder coating the wheel hubs and making them have an amazing transformation from brushed aluminum to a reflective red color.

[@HeroRR]

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

[@nicholasodonnell6884]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@PeterFeltersnatch852]

@@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

[@ThomasBarone]

Impressive knowledge and skills for such a young man!

[@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. !

[@valentinvalentin383]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@caspere.8461]

Does your mom know you're using her oven? Just kidding. Very nice job, looks professional?

[@martina20201]

What color this is. It look Berry wine and I want this color

[@kieranmann9761]

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

[@thanujaranasinghe7148]

doing well bro..but wasting lot of powder.. keep practicing..

[@stephengordon1005]

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

[@boyjwz]

if I powder coat the paint is fragile the slightest impact causes pieces to break off even if I assemble the piece with screws does anyone have any tips?

[@videosambumbio323]

Can I powder coat my Suzuki RMZ450 frame?

[@Luque956]

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

[@alejandra28arbes79]

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

[@MrNiceseb]

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

[@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.

[@inkloverdom]

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

[@philipspooner7005]

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

[@jennifermcguinness840]

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

[@connersnow298]

Awesome vid and edits and filming and bike and method

[@carlosflores6142]

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

[@travisboth1421]

Nice can you send me the kind of powder u have yours.

[@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

[@odd-erik6556]

Is it possible to cerakote hubs aswell?

[@quintinmetcalfe8587]

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

[@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!

[@tobbisenbrandt7508]

What did you do with the holes to the spokes?

[@thomassylvestro9041]

So nice What oven are you using?

[@helipilot727]

Sweet those remind me of the k-mart bmx bikes from china when I was a kid! That cheap candy red power coat was a dead giveaway back then when the real bikes were chromoly

[@als3449]

Was the first coating a primer

[@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?

[@drewryals4408]

Do the shock body black

[@adampaganelli4891]

I agree with you man!

[@tdel8613]

Wouldnt cerakoting be a better idea due to the thicknesS?

[@myname2263]

Do you have to degas all parts ?

[@randallhowser5184]

So many things done wrong .

[@outdoorzone]

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

[@oldprophet]

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

[@zainudinajaxajax]

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

[@outdoorzone]

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

[@Kendrickshayesjr]

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

[@ashtamananil3871]

What was blasting grit

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@SprayIgniteBoom]

looks fantastic!!!!

[@PowderKegSoCal]

Sick! Subscribed!

[@АндрейКарпишук-и7в]

Превосходная работа!!

[@kevinhancock4064]

Look fab nice work

[@brandonphillips578]

Looks like ironman

[@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!

[@nikolosperivolotis415]

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

[@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.

[@bjputvain]

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

[@freyawang3595]

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

[@inkmaster71]

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

[@adampaganelli4891]

It should be linked in the video description

[@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

[@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!

[@Bobby-Love]

Great informative video. Music sux!

[@TT-hu2hd]

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

[@moto_tech_braap_itout9852]

Exactly how and color im getting my atv frame painted

[@richardp444]

Blast with aluminum oxide 4-6” away 😉

[@billpeirce7127]

Wow!!!!! Gorgeous chrome red. 😁👍👍👍❤

[@trentpatteson681]

Have you ever coated hubs in a gold or bronze before?

[@sergiolenarduzzi4670]

That candy red looks really sharp.. Bravo

[@daveettel4750]

Awesome 👍

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

I wished I could get my wheel bearings out of my Harley that easy

[@adampaganelli4891]

Heat always helps

[@nOnecares623]

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

[@bobcalgarycanada8582]

Turned out Amazing👍👍👍

[@kodywhite3839]

So sick!!

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks man!

[@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!

[@tictac9454]

That looks sick!

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks I appreciate that!

[@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

[@chrismargarum6863]

Welding videos, those were some horrible welds man, fro. What I could see anyways... hubs came out nice thom👌

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks for the comment on the hubs. What was wrong with the weld?

[@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

[@moustachemike7128]

im thinking cobalt RED rims and Midnight black spokes 16" hd wheels should look sick..

[@adampaganelli4891]

That would be!

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@k.nguyen9203]

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

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks for watching 🤟🏼

[@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

[@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

[@davidhill7234]

Dang that looks so awesome!

[@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.

[@jean-michelb7290]

look awesome but... what a mess...

[@mikecondoluci53]

MAN THEY LOOK GREAT, JUST GOTA EASTWOOD GUN WANT TO DO SOME PARTS FOR MY 68 FIREBIRD IM BUILDIN FOR DRAG RACING ALWAYS LOOKIN FOR SUM GOOD TIPS THANKS

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks I really appreciate that, best of luck!

[@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!

[@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

[@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 🤟🏼

[@driverjamescopeland]

You could save a lot of powder buy suspending the parts on a non-conductive surface.

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks for the tip

[@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.
