The best powder coat finish i have ever seen. Wish you were here in India. Keep up the good work my friend ❤

[@conandunn5441]

Ya, you're my pic for sure, ninja flow time lapse works for sure while downloading your tech tips

[@wickmovies95]

for your question 6:40 , 70% cure means to get the maximum gloss appearance as well as to bind the 2nd coat together.

[@johannbornman4000]

Thank you for that

[@beaumombelli9378]

thank you!

[@larryb4122]

Always a great job. I did have a question that seems to have a split answer. Question: I bought a metallic powder and I love the color. It's just not metalic enough for me. I want to see more shimmer. More bling in the color. Can I mix more metal flakes in the powder? What would you suggest. What would give a base metalic color more vibrant sparkle?

[@UnknownCoatings]

yes as long as the flake is safe at temperature. Some flake the color burns out at like 300 degrees F

[@larryb4122]

@@UnknownCoatings Sweet.. All I needed to know.. Thank you!

[@MarkK01]

I love the look of black chrome. I have a 2016 Ford Escape titanium with boring silver wheels. I think the black chrome would look good with the Ruby Red Metallic exterior paint color. I just need to find a good powder coat company where i live in Canada.

[@thehawk05]

They’ll look great on that colour. Whereabouts in Canada are you? Depending on where you are I might be able to suggest some places that I know do good work

yeah its a mixed bag! and thank you!

[@JakobKaizen]

Hey brother! This is looking minttttt. Love your work and would get all my stuff to you is I were anywhere close to your shop. I’ve got a question for ya. Building a Harley with gold theme this winter. Gonna get a bunch of stuff coated and am looking for that gold plated, super smooth and glossy finish for a bunch of the parts combined with the body panels being gunship gray and also some black into the color scheme. What would be your recommendation when it comes to certain powders to achieve this and is there any key questions to ask a powder coating shop in order to get the right results. Some of the parts are Gonna be in the engine bay for instance, but I do believe that I’ll have to get those parts hard anodized instead to handle the heat. Keep going man!🔥🏆

[@3030wheels]

Great Work!

[@UnknownCoatings]

THank you so much!

[@garyzhang5099]

Great video! Do you think the clear coat is mandatory over the powder coat? If it's the case I'll ask the shop add a clear coat on top of powder coating!

[@xavier_claro]

Man this looks great, just did my own set of wheels in this colour unfortunately I can’t say it came out as good. The colour is significantly darker and I got those little black dots on 3 of my 4 wheels and a bit of orange pealing after the clear. (After 2 coats the chrome and 1 of the clear) perhaps I went a little heavy on the coats. Any recommendations you might have to help I’d really appreciate to hear. As of now back to sending them out to be chemically stripped……

[@vincentwebster8313]

maybe its just the camera vs in person but this looks like metallic grey?

[@chargerman426]

Any thoughts on the Big Mouth nozzle Columbia Coatings sells? I have it and it seems to help but man does it use A LOT of powder.

[@davidhaas2528]

Yeah I found the same, it takes a lot more powder to get it to stick right. Though it does seem to reduce back ionization issues. I'm fine with the extra powder waste personally, my biggest complaint is powder likes to stick on the inside of the nozzle. I find I have to shake it out often to avoid blobs of powder shooting onto the part.

[@a802jz]

That nozzle does use more powder but it allows you to get close to the part to get into tight faraday areas, without getting back ionization. I use it all the time with my KK 2.0 DPW.

[@UnknownCoatings]

as stated above, there are some issues but once you get used to using it, it does work well !

[@williamlanphar630]

Look sweet !

[@UnknownCoatings]

[@UnknownCoatings]

yes same temp but shorter time!

[@ourt1]

WAS WONDERING IF YOUR CAN DO SCORCH CHROME ON SO MOTORCYCLE WHEELS. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE KLOCKWERKS EXHAUST COLOR

[@phiksit]

No metal prep treatment? What stops substrate corrosion and delamination when moisture eventually finds it's way beneath the coating?

[@UnknownCoatings]

Well in my 16 years of business my 5 year warranty has been called into use two times.... Getting under 3 layers of powder would be impressive. Especially a urethane

[@NewsThatMatterUsa]

What is the best clear coat that I can buy just a few pounds of ? I know tyger I think I have to buy a minimum of 10 pounds which I am not at that level tho I know in the long run I would save money it’s about upfront cost right now and also storage . So what do you recommend for clear from any wheres I can buy just a few pounds ?

[@UnknownCoatings]

you can get 5lbs from Tiger.

[@bigmattolly4910]

Nice they look sick. Do you know where I could get this powder in Australia ??

Damn that looks good bro.im about to pull the trigger and buy a hot coat pcs1000.I've heard good reviews that it's a quality unit and you can run dual coats and metallic powders through it well.any info on this gun.have you ever used it before and would it be good for every day use like it claims.

[@UnknownCoatings]

It's literally the worst gun you can get. It's casually referred to as the POS1000. Anyone who says it's a good unit has never used an even decent quality gun

[@derekdrymon7038]

If I was to two tone motorcycle wheels half purple and half green would I just spray half and then partially cure it and then spray the other half and wipe off the partially cured area then go back in oven and fully cure it?

[@UnknownCoatings]

yes but you will want to make sure your colors can overlap without issue, I would suggest shooting a sample panel. I would also spray the "top" half first, that way you can let gravity help you get powder to just the other half when hanging

[@tpiercyIU]

Is this supposed to be an actual black chrome? I got this powder to try for a project. Mine came out to look more like a charcoal, i didnt do the clear at that point. Is charcoal the color or did i mess up?

[@michaelcuttwood4270]

Do u sandblast every wheel even brand new and polished aluminum

[@UnknownCoatings]

yes, powder requires a mechanical bond

[@J.3.T.Z.]

Looks good. My only recommendation is to not coat the rotor hub surfaces.

[@UnknownCoatings]

I ask each client (in this case a large motorcycle shop) and let them pick. But thanks.

[@J.3.T.Z.]

No problem. I am only mentioning it because I powder coat as well and build motorcycles. That surface and the rotor is a critical fastener and you can't get a proper torque spec with powder and it will eventually loosen and cause the hole to wallow out. @@UnknownCoatings
