I was halfway through the video before I noticed the pnw sized bag of reef. 💨💨💚

[@brianmoore3659]

Lol my eyes were dtawn right to it

[@growcrow5397]

Same!

[@ZwithTheCutlass]

lol same here

First thing i noticed​@@brianmoore3659

[@benwelsh8536]

Shame it’s a bag of chocolate bits 😂😂 read the half seen label, and it definitely looks like chocolate not flower 👌🏻🤙🏼

[@CounterPunchNation]

Another great video and the medicine to the right of the screen is beautiful.

[@UnknownCoatings]

haha glad people are enjoying it!

[@jonboatmorava9115]

Yeah buddy.... Looks great now I know 3 things we have in common love of powder coating, food, and medicine 😂

[@robertnelson9424]

[@saltyberserker4235]

Hello, I am new to powder coating and thus was my first video I've watched about it, really. I started doing it for a small company making industrial lawn care equipment, and now the business has changed hands. New owners are awesome! And now I am exploring the possibilities of powder coating. I have had zero training but I wamt to be the best I can for my new boss. Hr had ambition and is wanting to expand so I want to be able to bring things to the table. Explore ideas and open doors to more clients. Joining your Facebook group to learn and ask questions. Thank you for posting all of the tips and tricks, they are going to be great to learn!

[@brenlyd]

the pink with the cherry blossoms is a FANTASTIC look :) nice job!

[@NewYorkNadia]

A few questions: 1. If I ground the wire that's hanging the piece, won't that also ground the piece? If so, isn't this is a smarter way to ground to avoid having areas that don't get color? 2. Shouldn't you be wearing gloves to keep the oils off the metal? 3. What temp does the piece have to be in order to remove the vinyl? 4. What sort of vinyl are you using? I assume it's high-heat resistant? Thanks!

[@UnknownCoatings]

Yes that also grounds it. If your hands have oil on em. Sure. I get told this all the time on my vids and have never once had a problem. Temp doesn't matter as much as after flow out happens Oracal 651. And no it isn't high temp

[@NewYorkNadia]

@@UnknownCoatings Thank you!!

[@Creator_Nater]

Very nice! Cool logo your business has. Glad to have found this channel. Fellow lefty.

[@NotsaeEgavas]

They came out so good! Super close to having them installed. Just need a few different bolts and then we'll be good.

[@UnknownCoatings]

what bolts are an issue? is this for the brake swap?

[@NotsaeEgavas]

@@UnknownCoatings yeah, just the bolts that mount the caliper to the knuckle. Nothing you did wrong :)

[@vincentvalentine9417]

how did it come out ?

[@MapsAndCaps]

Beautiful work mate

[@rward4566]

No hemostats lying around for the little pieces of logo ?

[@UnknownCoatings]

[@topreventretaliations3590]

Yeah! So what type of pot is that?

[@johnbehneman1546]

SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT VIDEO, GREAT EDUCATION. THANKS FOR SHARING!!!! I LEARNED SO MUCH!!!

[@UnknownCoatings]

I appreciate the kind words!

[@melgross]

Very good. You need a steady hand for that.

[@UnknownCoatings]

hah yeah thats true, it certainly helps

[@TomsDIYShop]

The calipers turned out AWESOME! Question: On the second coat, are there any issue with the powder sticking to the area already painted? Is the electrical charged significantly reduced / impacted by already having a coat of paint?

[@UnknownCoatings]

With a good gun you dont have any issues. I assume some problems would happen with a low end gun though.

[@zxZEUS187]

I see multiple flowers on that desk... 😁 where you get that RAL index??

[@UnknownCoatings]

I think that one was Sherwin Williams, they sent it when I made my account. And yeah flowers...CHERRY BLOSSOMS BRUH! ;)

[@SegoMan]

Tech Tip, program a score line in between each line or object and let the machine do the cutting. It makes weeding so much easier, especially on larger projects..

[@UnknownCoatings]

i worked in the sign industry for a decade, i dont need weeding boxes

[@sparkypride3436]

Speaking of weeding, boy did that catch me off gaurd

[@tnourse]

Amazing process. Thank you! 🤘🏁

[@apegarage6141]

Getting stringing from my top color when i pull the logo away do i need to pull later or earlier

[@rianellis6746]

is it weeding vinyl or smokin weed while doing vinyl? asking for a friend lol

[@andrewbodey5025]

Look great. You cure them at a lower temp until flow out and then remove the vinyl?

[@UnknownCoatings]

yeah I keep the temp down to eliminate chance for error. Stuff like this is finicky, so I am all about making it as easy as possible

[@pinnaclepaintingco]

@6:00 is that a bag of choof on the right hand side?

[@UnknownCoatings]

Cant be, thats illegal in utah! ;)

[@pinnaclepaintingco]

Yes! 🙌🏼

[@bishop5537]

Beautiful work, well done!

[@GregoryJohnston77]

Amazing work man. Great job.

[@derbisenda4274]

at what temp do you pull the vinyl off? right after flowout you pull them out of the oven. but do you let them cool a little down or start peeling right away? thankss allot

[@xisleprez]

how many mins should I leave them in the oven once the vinyl was applied to black? Thank you!

[@travislee5044]

Is there a particular type of vinyl I need to buy that can withstand the heat? I just purchased a plotter. Thanks

[@JarethCrowell]

Is it just standard vinyl or something special for the heat?

[@songsforthesoul8985]

I’d like to know this as well ^^

[@chrisroberson7736]

One other question then I will leave you alone. I am using a laser engraver to cut out the vinyl. Do you think that would be a problem?

[@butchers2]

Hi can i ask did you learn all you know from what you taught yourself?

[@UnknownCoatings]

yes I am self taught

[@miguelroman4578]

Hello my friend were I can buy the vinyl paper

[@neskomen80]

When u are removing the logo whole thing needs to be in the oven for a few minutes? And after removing all the tape down, back to oven,right?..

[@louloutony5328]

I've been powder coating for 20 years I've recently started working for a big brake caliper and disc company called hi-spec Motorsport in England I anodise before coating we produce anything get in touch if anyone needs anything were based in Kent Dartford

[@jamessarrett4169]

Very interesting. what happens if you leave the vinyl on for curing and then peel it off after? does it tear up the edge of the coating?

[@racer3968]

I tried this as an experiment and found it leaves behind burnt adhesive that's impossible to remove without grinding it off.

[@UnknownCoatings]

You got it too hot and also didn't remove it in time then

[@UnknownCoatings]

Exactly what's explained below. I do it this way because it works :)

[@WisconsinA35]

Do you sell those logos? I need 4 Nismo logos lol. Doing a 3 process powder coat on my calipers. Red for the O and super chrome for the Nism and then the whole caliper will have Shocker Yellow clear coat to give it an anodized yellowish green look. Just found this video lol.

[@ptr-rimworkx5927]

Is the black complete cured or just flowed out?

[@UnknownCoatings]

flow out and a few mins.

[@PeachCraft55]

Is the vinyl you use just standard type decal vinyl?

[@adrianlooez6162]

Can you make a tutorial video of how u did the brembo logo

[@hawkeye3296]

Where is your shop located?

[@Pistonstrokes]

Is it permissble to lets say powder coat red, apply brembo white sticker and then clear coat the sticker in place?

[@UnknownCoatings]

Depends on color. In this case the white vinyl will get opaque during heating and look pink when done

[@chrisbergquist1643]

Another bad ass video! You made it look to easy pulling those decals off.😅

[@UnknownCoatings]

Hah I appreciate it! and it is easy if you do it at the right time!!!

[@chriswilliamson1258]

any tips on how to get gloss white to jiv over candys?

[@UnknownCoatings]

over candies? a clear would likely solve it. Acrylic clear ideally.

[@unforgiven101inc]

I bought a set of Brembo brakes for my Cadillac from a place out of North Carolina and they powder coated with the boots on and theres some powder coat paint on the the rubber boots. I haven't put them on yet but they say there wont be any problemes with them. is this true...Help

[@UnknownCoatings]

You can probably flex the boots and it will break off but that means they sand blasted them with the pistons and seals in and that's sketchy

[@alanhawkins2134]

Another awesome video! Going to be doing some Brembos this week this video helped out a lot! Great work man

[@dylansue3519]

vinyl wont melt in oven?

[@dbCOOKE1]

after you chem strip, outgas and sand blast, do you ever do some sort of wipe down before shooting powder? seen lots of talk about the oil/other contaminants that might be on your hands if you touch the part once its been blasted clean. Have you ever experienced an issue like that?

[@UnknownCoatings]

Personally no, i have seen others have issues. Some stuff I clean after but most i just blow off.

nice video broter. How long did you bake before taking out and removing the vinyl?

[@UnknownCoatings]

too many variables, I try to pull vinyl right on the edge of flow out for the powder.

[@CarModsGarage]

@@UnknownCoatings thanks brother 👍

[@JoshTolbertUrbana]

Do you have a general rule for how long after flow-out you need to let it continue to cure before pulling the part out to remove the masking? Also, do you pull the mask when it's as hot as possible, or wait for it to cool a bit? Thanks again for another great video.

[@UnknownCoatings]

i literally let it get to true flow out an pull it. I do it hot. the "strings" are the only real issue ind oing it hot and they are better than peeling away powder on accident lol

[@JoshTolbertUrbana]

@@UnknownCoatings Thanks. Gonna be taking a whack at my first multi-color work here pretty soon...On my own stuff first. :D

I have tried this and had no luck. The vinyl peeled back when I put it in the oven at the temperature you recommended. I am wondering if it is the vinyl that I am using. What vinyl product are you using for the masking? Thanks for your help!

[@hardcore4476]

He mentions in comment towards the top. Sounds like your vinyl is to thin.

I appreciate it and no I'd say I clear maybe half. It's not like paint. There are a lot of variables

[@danielwever4054]

What's up? Do you set your oven temp higher to what the powder require so the parts can get faster to the temp or you set the oven temp to exactly what it's required and wait till the parts get to that temp?

im usually a few degrees over 405 if I want 400 but nothing too wild!
