Thanks for the video I just starting out and did my first bike center piece and messed it up . Bumps in the road .

Life is about progress not perfection!

Beginner question: why do i have to split the caliper? Why can I not coat them when both halves are together? Thank you!

[@artlabuae7303]

Nice work. Thanks for showing your mistake and how to fix it.

[@UnknownCoatings]

No problem! Lots of people think I dont ever make mistakes coating, and I admit its pretty rare, but ultimately I am content showing people how to fix problems, even if I create them!

[@BrianJena]

Looks very good!!

Question on brakes. When you do a brake backing plate, do you soray the whole plate, or do you mask off the part that mounts to the axle. Thanks.

[@keving.mercadoreyes8476]

What vinyl do you use that can resist the heat of powder coating?

[@procharged6854]

I have the same wilwood calipers Im putting on a build and would like them done, whats the best way to contact you for details?

[@maxedmoto]

where is the link for the avery sticker?👀👀

[@lukeyanko7771]

Could you reverse mask the logo and spray yellow as the final step after the silver/blue? Or does it still bleed with the gelled coats?

[@UnknownCoatings]

no, because it will pull the blue thru the yellow.

[@DaroisDesigns]

save yourself a lot of work and just do your silver, blue, then use automotive paint for the logo and then clear everything. you wont have any edge. You will end up with a much cleaner end result.

[@UnknownCoatings]

Yeah if I wanted to be a trash painter I would for sure do that. :) This is a powder coating channel! 😂😂

[@DaroisDesigns]

@@UnknownCoatings I own a powder coating business, just trying to share an easy way that solves the edge problem. That looks cheap with that giant edge. It would also solve the bleeding issue. I guess if I wanted to be a trash powder coater I could do it the way you showed, take much longer mask it multiple times, have an edge that a person could trip over and then have a subpar part to give to a customer.🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

What program do you use to get factory logos and size them for cut?

[@UnknownCoatings]

I make everything in illustrator, most factory logos can be found in vector form online, then it's just a matter of sizing

[@BrianJena]

what plotter do you use? @@UnknownCoatings

[@ChromolyCowboy]

what did you use for stripping the powder?

[@UnknownCoatings]

CHeck my new video, you can see my input on my new stripping setup!

[@glynecollymore5569]

Do you cut or make your own logo?

[@UnknownCoatings]

Yes. I have a plotter to do all my own sticker work

[@stenapproved7684]

First
