    i been coating at home for over 20yrs n thought id give you few tips .when you finished giving a coat of powder get a led torch n look over the peice you covered it will show up where you havent put enough powder on as in the bare metal will stand out through the lighter coating . also ive found for best results after you clean the part put it in the oven for 10 minutes on 300f or 150c that will get rid of every single bit of dust ect and if you coat the part while its slightly warm you can then put a 2nd coat on which gives it a way better finish .the good thing bout coating is if you make a small mistake let the part cool for 12 hours then rub it back with 800 paper then clean and recoat .you think its fun now wait till you do two tone metalics with clear coat it looks way better than 2pac paint .you can also spray paint parts then powder coat clear them so you can get whatever colour you need if your matching car parts to its paint colour .hope this helps you in future .have fun

    I've been using the Electrostaticmagic Easycoat system for 5 years, I've done loads of parts for my kit car. I've never had a problem contacting the team, they always have answered the phone and give great advice whenever I've asked for it. Great results but of course the end results directly depends on the amount of preparation of the parts. Good video.

    I have been trawling powder coating vids online for some time learning all the tricks. Your vids the best. One guy actually had a great tip. He bought one of those cheap counter top ovens off amazon. Uses it for smaller parts like you just demonstrated. Saves on electricity. Thought that tip was worth passing on. Cheers.

    a tip: after you cleaned the part and prebaked it go over it with a butane gas hobby torch before you put the powder on you will burn al the dust particals of you get a cleaner result.

    @angelreading5098 5 років тому

    Really good knowledge Martin and you have taken the lid off powder coating for many of us,one thing that is important for aircraft restorers is that powder coating is not allowed on any aircraft components,the CAA at least in the UK put out a circular a while back,I would imagine that it could hide cracks on components and make non destructive testing impossible,I am only speaking from a UK perspective not sure how this applies in other countries.

    Martin, Just noticed the water filter is on the wrong way round. According to the info on the back of my water filter packaging, same as yours Air in ie, from the compressor, goes in the blue end and air out is the silver end after passing through the filter element, then to the gun. Not too sure if it works in reverse. I keenly follow all three of your channels BTW. Regards Geoff

    Best video on powder coating I found with out all the faffing about. I watch your lawnmower channel so I trusted what you were saying. One thing I'm curious about after watching the company video on their website was the wood and glass coating, how does the powder stick to these items as they are non conductive. I will be buying this product in the future so a thumbs up from me.

Also my dads got a sandblasted, but it’s buried at the back of his garage, so I’ll see if I can turf that out. But I’m like you lots of stuff to clear so I must get on while we have decent weather, hot hot this week they say 😓 Don’t work to hard🤣🤣🤣 🙂👍
