      I emailed them 4 years ago about doing an electric halo truck and about a long travel Honda odyssey I had build back in 2002 with a Yamaha r1 motor in it. They never responded. They did end up doing an electric car on shortly after my email. Not sure if it had any influence or if it was just coincidence.

    Pro tip: with the cup liners in your HVLP gun. Before spraying, start by turning the gun upside-down and pulling the trigger until you see paint. This vacuums the air out of the cup, so it's paint only. You'll be able to spray at any angle, and the volume of paint being sprayed will be consistent until the cup is empty.

I been spraying lacquer for 20 years and didn't know until someone tipped me off to it. The gun will spray fine regardless, as proven. Bleeding the air from the cup helps with tight spaces, angles, and consistency. The bike and paint turned out incredible!

    What an exciting transformation! Fitting race car parts onto an LS Humvee is a bold and innovative idea that blends rugged durability with high-performance engineering. This project showcases creativity and a willingness to push the boundaries of what a Humvee can do. It’s fascinating to think about how these enhancements will improve speed and handling while maintaining the vehicle's tough exterior. This kind of cross-pollination between different automotive worlds is always inspiring and could lead to some thrilling results on the track. Can’t wait to see how this project unfolds , definitely an exciting venture

    You have a good natural flow to your spraying technique. With just a little refinement you will be excellent. Please practice tapering your air fluid transition at the gun. What I mean by that is try closing off the fluid as you end a pass but keep the air flowing. This will enable you to taper your fluid to what is just needed and will also reduce overspray. This will be a big help especially with clearcoat. Practice a bit by never stopping the airflow but squeezing enough fluid to coat your part. Once you get this, you will never go back to your ON OFF spraying you are doing now. Trust me, I have sprayed thousands of cars bikes, aircraft boats and furniture. I am 67nyears old and still spraying because I enjoy it!

    Looking into your sandblaster cabinet, you should have an entry hole for clean air and an exit hole connected to a vacuum cleaner just to remove all dust from inside of it while sandblasting. You should also have a removable glass attached (with some brackets) beneath that plastic sheet. Is more durable and you can make it removable from the lateral door hatch. When the glass becomes too scratched and opaque, just replace it with another one. I have a similar cabinet and it works well this way. Awesome, awesome job you've been doing. Cheers from Portugal,

    • @Hellsong89
      @Hellsong89 3 місяці тому

      Yeah the exhaust of the cabinet is non existing. In cabinets you want negative pressure gravity resisting flow, as in filtered intake channel back of the cabinet that prevent heaviest material from flowing out with air and sucking dust protected fan on top that pulls dust out and into filter. Would not use vacuum cleaner since its low volume high speed extraction, when you want large volume low speed extraction. With my blasting cabinet i have troubles on figuring suitable all year round filtering system, but one would be if used little and/or warm climate, have pumps spray mist of water that traps the dust particles and drops them into bucket that then has sediment filtering and pump to recycle water to nozzles. Another would be some fabric type of filtering or if it does not bother you, just pump the air outside, but that is loosing lots of air in cold climates, so maybe cold intake into cabinet and then pump the dust outside, though it will cover large area with the sand dust.
      For the window, thin sheet plastic cover on both sides is the most cost effective solution, though if you can deal the with replacing sacrificial glass then go for it, but here glass is more expensive than sheet of plastic. Regardless you want to protect the main window from both sides with something optically clear.

      @@s13kuminachu given where they are, and availability of powder coating services, it makes sense to a degree. I don't blame them but I also can't disagree. I think they'd have been well suited to build a large DIY oven big enough to do this on their own for less than the cost of sending it all for powder coating.
      I can't speak for the exact availability of powdercoating in their area, but I live in a much less rural area and we only have like two within a reasonable drive. And one of them is barely reasonable. Dropping off parts and coming back takes all day. The other one is 45 minutes or so from my house.

      Also I've used powder coating shops before for sandblasting and coating. It's usually easier to get a quick blast in than it is to get it coated. Last time I had it done it was gonna be like 2-3 weeks for coating. It took them 3 days to sneak it in and get it sandblasted.
