The Build Off Bike Clock Is Ticking...

[@WhoTFstolemyname]

Calling it 1. Paul Sr. will use his employees and full shop to do some OCC custom frame, tank, etc. 2. Sean will have a crispy bike that runs, sometimes. 3. Craig (and Greg) will have a fully running, well put together bike that is actually rideable, but not as custom as Paul Sr's impractical one.

Simplest is usually best. I just saw this trick and had to give it a try.

In the end, if you get two 40$ heatguns, you are almost at your 100$ oven. But the experiment sure looked interesting.

[@gabbermaikel]

i think his biggest problem was that the pressure might actually be too high. I never have that big of a cloud flying on to my parts because its guaranteed to be spotty and uneven. If you do that to a preheated part its going to be even worse. Just spray it on with a nice and even cloud and nog this big thick cloud, its wasting loads of powder(wich the cheap guns wil do anyway, but this is excessive)

[@bob1456]

Get yourself a GOOD filter mask before doing anymore coating. With all that stuff in the air, the filter and fan won't catch it all. Without a mask, you're inhaling some of the stray particles. If you and Dan like breathing and want to keep doing it, GET THE MASKS for both of you and wear safety gear. Like the channel and want you to keep doing it. Good luck with the V-rod.

[@MisterBrickalew]

I couldn't stop thinking about this while he was pouring the powder. Then he brushed the dust off the table...

[@buddybleeyes]

Came to the comments to say this or upvote someone who already has. Can't reiterate the importance of a decent filtered mask or hood. A hood may be better since the mask needs clean shaven for a good seal (standard practice here in the uk)

[@chriss-nf1bd]

You could have just bought a used gas stove for $50-$100 bucks and just put it on broil. That's what I did and I drilled into the top and installed eye bolts to hang parts from. I could watch the parts bake threw the front glass.

Craig, my winter project I picked up last week is a 1991 BMW K75 Resomod. This video is perfect timing since I want to learn how to powder coat. Perfect timing g and much appreciated! (Located in Iowa)

[@Happyfacehotwheels]

My friend, you came to the wrong place to learn powder coating! 🤣 There's plenty to learn here, just not that. Joking aside, the K75 is a sweet bike. What are you doing to it? Stock or custom?

[@TheRealDukeSchneider]

@@Happyfacehotwheels It is starting as a well worn K75RT. It will get fully stripped, cleaned up, and heading toward the cafe look. I won’t be doing the full big $$ build, but making it look as clean as I can and do a mix of flat and gloss black with brass accents. I am 53, so this is really more a learning experience for me over the winter. It will be a fun toy and maybe one my son will ride and grow to next after his 1981 Honda CM400c we restored. I have an R1200RT that I ride as well as a KLR., but thought the early K engine is really interesting.

[@BeauAyers]

I have doing my own powder coating for years, If you are doing just small things, not like wheels. I just bought a cheap used oven from renovation company and I have been using that for years. Works great.

[@bashr52]

A trick I learned from a pro powder coater is to pre-heat the part prior to coating to release any potential oils or dirt that are trapped in the part. You don't want those sweating out once the powder is on and flowing. Clean the part as well as you can, pre-heat, cool, clean again, and then coat. A few extra steps, but his results were always perfect, so I guess it worked 😂

[@muzzynat]

Just a heads up from someone who ran a powder coat department. Be very careful not to get too much powder in the air at one time in the booth, if you hit the right(wrong) ratio, sparks can and will ignite it and cause an explosion.

[@marting.4505]

It can happen with ANY powdery material if fine enough and the ratio's right (flour, wood dust, etc.)

[@muzzynat]

@ absolutely! Grain elevators explode relatively frequently because of this! The thing about powder coat that makes it slightly worse is the gun can spark under the right conditions, so you have the material and the ignition source

[@stans5270]

The heat gun moves cool air, turns it hot, and then the hot air flows over the surface area into the thing to be heated. Without airflow, it won't work correctly. To speed things up, fill a cast iron Dutch oven with bricks, put it in an oven that was set 25 degrees over the target temp and sat for 1 hour. Immediately lower it into the drum. That will hold the heat in the drum.

[@Happyfacehotwheels]

When we did powder coating, we used the least expensive shower stall we could buy at the local hardware store. Since the powder was recoverable, sweeping it down the drain made easy clean up and stretched the powder. We bought an electric range for $20 and used used the oven. It was big enough that we could fit a 16" wheel in it.

[@tumon1000]

Put your negative lead onto the wire your piece is hanging from. That way you won’t leave a mark on your work piece. Also you’re blowing too much powder. Use a smaller nozzle and work around your work piece

I think the build off is going to come down to Craig and Sr. Sean may have some surprise in store for us, but from what I've seen so far, he seems to be doing more of a restoration than a custom build.

[@gehteuchnixan4156]

Ideas to improve the Barrel: Hot air rises to the top, so the thermometer should be more in the middle. A handle from a cooking pot, attached to the lld of the barrel would make it a little safer and easier to open when hot. Threaded rods, could be attached to the lid as well, and the tips bent into a u shape so you could hang parts directly from them without having to open the plug and loosing heat. If you're planning to use this Barrel more often ;)

[@PetrolJunkie]

I went to a used appliance store and bought an electric stove with a working oven. It holds temp predictably and modifying it was pretty easy. I added eye bolts to hang items. I only do small parts in shop. Anything bigger than will fit in the over goes out to a professional. The heat gun where overheating because there was to much back pressure. They need so much throughput of air to stay cool. Those may not get hot enough to heat that much air. I would suggest for version 2.0 a paint stripping heat gun. Variable temp and designed for poking use. The temp range is often much higher than a single temp gun.

[@pepethefrog7193]

Connect only the inner tube of the heatgun. The mantle tube is for cooling the plastic so it does not melt.

[@Mean-bj8wp]

You can make better oven with a barrel but need to do it outside. Basically a big mound of dirt that you lay the barrel on sideways then cover all over including the back im dirt leaving just the open end. Dig under the barrel all the way to the back creating a little cavern. Fill the cavern with charcoal/wood and light it. Place the lid at the front of the barrel held with a prop and hey presto a huge oven. Or sit it upright cut out an opening on the side the bottom create a solid shelf at the top of the opening. Fill thr opening with charcoal/wood and light it up. Can do the same thing with bricks and you can then get it to over 2000°F which is hot enough to fire pottery.

[@USMCVet9600]

Used Electric Home oven from Facebook Marketplace? probably cheaper, definitely more time savings

[@timmooney7528]

I knew someone who had a side job doing power coating. They used a toaster oven for smaller parts, and a used kitchen oven for larger stuff.

[@alsanderson4917]

Do something with those wheels. Maybe get some crazy design machined in them and matching design on the engine covers. I do like the solid wheels, they look like they could handle some serious power at a drag strip, but they could be improved. maybe just get them custom painted? Paint some crazy spokes on them?

[@Echo4Bravo]

Hey, thanks for posting this on my day off. I got a cool buzz going. 🤣🤘

[@jamesjohnson671]

My method is to start with anodized parts, then match powder coat and paint to them. Pay a pro to do the paint and powder coating. Anodized fasteners are a sweet touch. Ball end allen wrenches and 6 point sockets are likely to save you from scratches.

[@21Redlion]

When you clean the part to powder coat it stick in the heat to get it to temp then paint it then back in heat to cure it. That will help the paint setup go right.

[@Topher1988]

Degrease your metal and powder the part while it is hot (bake it for like 30min). Bake again for like 20 min at 400 (Depending on the thickness of the metal). If you get a nice even coat then you shouldn't have any orange peel effect. Powder raw metal. Make sure your hanging system is clean between powders so you can get a good ground. You are supposed to be able to powder cold with just the electrode but I find powdering hot allows you to use less powder.

[@Bl4ckD0g]

Heat excites electrons, which would probably slightly aid with deposition from the positively charged powder.

[@RollinMyOwn]

I have rhe same powder coat system... it's decent no complaints.. if you get your parts figured out how you want them to hang in your over heat the parts up to get rid of moisture and then pull them out while they are hot and then coat them it'll take less powder and it'll stick alot better

[@Saltyhousewife-]

I powder coat for a living been doing it for over a decade. When you start coating don’t shake the gun that’s what’s causing the uneven powder build up. Easier to show than explain on KZbin. Ground is very important like you said in the video. They say you shouldn’t but if I ever have trouble I use a cooper wire and hold it to the part. Just realized you are the ground at that point lol. Overall for a DIY job and not some industrial setup I really think it turned out good. Btw no prismatic is not the best. Try tiger drylac they have the most amazing colors.

[@JeremyBuker-p9c]

Thanks for toe up date

[@calysagora3615]

Two basic physics things wrong with your heat gun oven. First you blocked off the vents in the shroud with insulation. Those are for sucking in air to cool the gun so it does not melt, by Venturi effect. Just get a piece of pipe or metal flex tube, that fits the nozzle, not the shroud, going through the insulated wall. Second, you keep the drum sealed, so the heat gun is working against pressure, not letting it pump heated air into the drum, overheating itself. The drum would heat up much faster, and the heat gun would be much happier, if you actually let air get out of it. If you angle the gun (inlet tube) sideways, creating a vortex, and have an air outlet at the center of the bottom of the drum, it will let out the coldest air, your oven would get hotter faster, and your hot air guns will live happily ever after. Edit: PS, the correct placement for a thermometer sensor in an oven is half way up. Never at the top. Because convection.

[@mickthemonkey]

Try pre-heating the parts to close to curing temperature before shooting the powder. This helps with removing contamination from the surfaces to reduce outgassing.

[@RIPFPSDOUG]

SUrprised you didnt have any issue with that primary cover. Both these V-Rods, and the Sturgis edition ST's have factory problems, Once you pull that cover, you wind up machining spacers to get it to seal correctly.
