The first video of the "How to Start a Powder Coating Business from Home" series what received quite well! So I'm back with another video and I'll keep bringing them too you as long as it's bringing value!
In this series of "How to Start a Powder Coating Business from Home" I'm going to talk about what it takes to get those first few paying jobs, as well as how you can start using from FREE resources to market and start to grow your powder coating business.
To get started powder coating you first need the equipment. It doesn't have to be expensive fancy equipment to start, the Eastwood duel voltage gun is low cost and a great way to start practicing and getting your process down, while sharpening your powder coating skills. As we talked about, powder coat some of your own parts, show it to family and friends, maybe some of them will want something done. Do it for free (for the experience and so you have proof of work)
Starting any business is going to be tough, you just need to work hard and know that you can do it. Every problem you go through, most likely other powder coaters have when through the same or vary similar problems, you're not the only one, and if they can do it, you can do it!

Great video! I believe this is just what a lot of us need to be able to bring everything into perspective, as far as what all is involved in starting a business. Is nice to hear how you started small and slowly added things , instead of being overwhelmed with big expenses from the beginning. Thank you
Thank you for your support and I’m glad we brought you some value Bill 🤙
Thank you again for doing this. You've got no idea how helpful it is. Very few people are taking the time and I appreciate it. Keep up the great work
I’m glad were able to bring you value, this is a series I didn’t know if it would go over very well but it’s nice to see that it is being received quite well
Hey I thank you for your video of how to get started in the powder coating business. I’m a diesel mechanic and we build our own trucks, or put trucks together and I paint them and I also paint and redo the interior of the trucks. I want to powder coat the parts and the dash panels and other things. The boss went and bought the Harbor Freight powder coat gun. It’s okay but I want the Eastwood dual voltage gun. We have a 53 foot long trailer and 8 feet wide that I will convert into my painting space. I am going to build an oven in the front of the trailer and then I will have a small spray booth and tables along both sides of the trailer. I’ve never done it as a business. So I am definitely listening and watching your videos and I thank you for being so helpful and talking about it like the way you do. I can follow along and understand what you’re saying and what you’re explaining.
Thanks
Shane
Glad the videos help! You’ve got this, let us know if you have any questions 💪
I like your vids man. I’m looking to start a small power coating and blasting business, and your vids are helping with my research.
Thanks bud! Glad we can help
Thank you once again, this is exactly where I’m at starting off this is awesome I would like
To learn a little bit more about the equipment
OK we can do some more videos on equipment. I know that Unknown Coatings is going to be doing overview of five or six different systems. We do not currently have the ability to do that, but we will probably use some of his information and some of the information that we have to be able to share that equipment information with you.
I’m looking into starting my business in my shop from home, do I have to pass an inspection of some sort? Not because I want to take shortcuts, I just don’t want to invest in all this equipment and all the sudden some inspector comes in and shuts me down and tells me I couldn’t be doing it at home in the first place. Or is it just a business license and I’m good to go?
It’s best to get a building. Depending on your city or town you very well may need to go through an inspection.
So you haven't talked about equipment or the cost of a startup and what's the best equipment to start up with small
Have you watched all of our business videos? We do have a few.
I'm hoping to simply have a side income since I'm a retired disabled vet.
it's a way to do it, but it does take time and practice
You have a very great way of explaining things. You have answered so many questions for me. I cant thank you enough. I have a feeling your channel is going to blow up!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the support!
I just want to say that I stumbled on your channel as I was trying to learn about powder coating. I've just always thought it was a cool process and I'm starting as hobby. But now I'm thinking this could be a fun side hustle. But what I really want to say is that your content is fantastic and you are an inspiring and dynamic speaker! You obviously hustle everyday and are passionate about what you do. Your positive message of working hard, not quitting, and you can make it happen, is one that we need to hear more in our country right now! You are living the American dream! All the best to you and your family.
Thank you! We appreciate your kind words and we’re stoked that our content brings you value! That’s what’s most important to us. It doesn’t matter if it is helping to educate you about business, about powder coating or if it is just entertainment. If we are bringing you value that is our end goal! Thanks again for your support and we hope to continue to bring you more!
Can you do video on shop set up and movement through out the shop
Home shop and regular shop great stuff
That's something we can try and work in.👍
This is a very nice knowledge, you share to other people, i already finish your part 1 will continue to watch all your videos about powder coating
Awesome! Thank you!
@@710performance i do have a question, does a normal playsand can be use as an alternative for sandblasting?
I was able to set up a gas powered home oven to use propane bottles.
Congratulations
This is great info definitely helping me make my way into the powder coating business thanks guys
Our pleasure!
What chemical do you use to strip?
We use Rim Strip/Powder Strip from Matt at Express Chem. His info is in the description 👍
Thanks for your information

What is needed for a paint booth
I don’t know the specs for a paint booth because they are different than a powder coating booth.
Is the KK171 a good system? Me and my brother are trying to get equipment together and start. We have a Quincy 7.5 HP 80 gal and a skat blast dual station.
We don’t know anything about that system sorry
A lot of people don’t seem to understand what powder coating actually entails. Honestly the market for powder coat is large, but I’ve had a lot of people contact me about my powder coat service and end up saying buying a rattle can is cheaper. I just like to tell them it simply won’t last long.
Good finishes take time and cost money!
I must say I do love the content. After watching Your videos I feel pretty good about my work And feel like I'm making good decisions because of the wonderful advice that you give. I do have a few questions I purchase the PCS 1000 from Eastwood. In the directions it says do not use gas heat. I've watched most of them all your videos, and would you build your heater you did use gas what was the reasoning behind that not to use versus using
We've only used a gas heater and we've never had an issue.
Great info & thanks so much for the videos. I’m building the same type of oven 4x4x6’ with a 30-60k BTU torpedo Mr Heater. Will that be sufficient to heat up the oven consistently? I’m adding the PID controller, SSR & Thermocouple kit along with the solenoid in the heater like in your other build video. Question number 2 I’m starting out of my home garage & at what point would you recommend trying to move into a shop & go full time ie (x amount of business per month, or maybe 6months of savings, etc)
Congratulations on your oven build and thank you for the support. We suggest that you get the 75,000 to 125,000 BTU heater as we know somebody who tried to heat I have an about your size with the 30 K to 60 K and it just wasn’t enough it took like 20 minutes to warm up. As far as moving into a shop from your home shop you have to figure are you making enough money to cover whatever rent is +30 to 40% more of the rent cost for other utilities like electricity and such like that.
Thanks for all the great infd! I love to get together with you and discuss an opportunity I have for a PC business. Things to know, ask and look for. I'd greatly appreciate it.
Shoot us an email if you would like to, we do have mentoring available. Info@710Performance.com
827?! Getting closer to that 1K quick 🔥🤞🏼🤞🏼
Yessir!
Very useful video
Thanks a lot
Watched PART I, then went on PART II, realized I hadn't give a thumb up on the first one, went back and fixed it.
THANK YOU!
These videos are a good idea.
Thank you were glad that they bring you guys value!
So getting the business license is getting the “LLC”? And what’s the difference in performance of the rim strip the one with and without chloride.. does the one without still works?
Getting the LLC is registering your business and then your city or county might require you to also get a business license. The performance of the rim strip with Call right I heard it’s not very good, but We have not tried it personally so we can’t say for sure how good it is. Some say it works but it just takes a very long time.
What compressor do you recommend starting out. Cfm wise just doing smaller parts for now?
To be honest the bigger the CFM in psi the better. I would shoot for at least 30 CFM at 175 psi
Another video with lots of info. Keep them coming and I may take the leap. You have me thinking about it hard now. Small in my garage for now.
Go for it!
When you cover topics in these videos it doesn't leave many questions that need answers. My question for now is what other licenses and or environmental permits do you need? I'm sure it varies by state but I cannot find anything for mine. I know autobody shops need things like that because of paints.
Do you have to have hazardous waste come pick up your B 17 or rim strip waste. I believe it varies state to state but I do not think that you have to have a special license for most states I believe you just have to make sure that you have the correct disposal company coming to pick it up. But I also can’t say that I know for sure.
It happens quite quickly with a chemical stripper, but as a hostage I can't find anything like this here in Bulgaria
Sorry to hear that!
Thank you for explaining the pricing on what you charge for wheels. It is helpful to know what a realistic idea is for generating a charge basis.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for another great video. This answers a few questions i had.
I have a few freinds in local car clubs, and when i can get set up with a gun i plan to practice on my own toys to start with and see what kind of interest there is at the local car shows i go to. For me I think this is going to be more for fun, and maybe saving some money on my own toys, but you never know. It could turn into a nice little side gig. I dont know of a whole lot of coaters around here, but lots of hotrods, musclecars and harleys around. Keep up the good work.
It sounds like you might be in a prime little spot to have a nice little side hustle going on. Keep up the good work I’m quite sure you will get somewhere
keep it up
We will do just that!
What small pieces can you powder coat in a little toaster oven? And how much could you charge?
It would depend on the size of your toaster oven, and the price would depend on what work you are doing
If you haven't already, can you show the steps of doing a second coat? Thanks
We have several videos showing multiple coats, both with hot and cold parts
Very thankful to be able to follow your videos to make my journey into powder coating a lot easier.
You are so welcome!
Great tips. You really do reply to all the comments. Rare nowadays.
It's tough to do, but we do it the best we can! Thank you for the support!
Thank you! Thank you!! GREAT CONTENT!!! We NEED this.
You are so welcome!
Great video!! Thank you for breaking it down this is a very educational
Glad you enjoyed it!
Picked up a new client today after he saw some of my stuff on fb and Instagram.
That is awesome! Congratulations!
Hey guys! greetings from South America, thanks for your videos, have watched all of them. I'm also starting a poder coat business from scratch, my concern is that I don't have a sandblaster but I do have a vapor blaster cabinet, if not enough, will I need a pressure pot or will be better a siphon suction sandblasting cabinet? thanks for your attention
Thank you for your support! Glad we're able to help you! A pressure pot would be a better way to go, for sure, you'll need as much powder blasting as you can get, so it's much better than a siphon blaster.
@@710performance thanks for your reply, eager to start, is there a specific kind of paint stripper that should be used ? or one that shouldn't
Great content! What size propane tank u using for the new oven? How long does it last?
It’s a 100 pound tank and so far it’s lasted us about three weeks. I think we have about another week left.
What size compressor did you have when you started off? Or were you able to go straight into a shop that had 220 and bigger compressor?
We tried to start with a 10 CFM compressor and we burnt it up in less than two months, so we got the larger compressor.
Yea that’s my biggest drawback right now I’m working with about 10cfm. I haven’t burnt it up yet but it’s coming. Hopefully I’ll be out of my garage one day and be in a shop.
Thank you for going over how to start up cant wait for next information video
You are so welcome!
Some really good advice there thanks.
Of course glad we could help!
Great video bro! Like @Jimbo86 said on his previous comment, after seen your video, there's hardly any questions left and rather the anxiety of when would the next video come and the content it will have. You explain things down to the point and on a way that basically anyone can understand. The one question that I can think of from the top of my head would be about what limitations can you say the Eastwood dual voltage powder coating gun have on your opinion? I've researched and found that depending on the amount of coats applied to it (some say after a base coat and top coat), it's harder to get other coats applied to it due to limitation on Kv and that at those points you would basically have to hot flock the powder to the part. What type of work can be done with that gun? are there any limitation on the size of the part apart from what type of oven you have?
Thank you very much for your support and the awesome comment. There are limitations on the Eastwood dual voltage gun, if it has too many hard to reach places you will really have some troubles you can make it work but it will definitely be a hair pulling experience. We’ve done bike frames, not motorcycle frames but BMX bike frames, with the Eastwood dual voltage gun and was able to make it work, although I believe we did warm flock it to get the hard to reach areas. I would say With the dual voltage you can still do quite a few things that are single coat, it is just going to take quite a bit of time and quite a bit of practice. You can do brake calipers, you can do valve covers, remember with the more hard to reach places you definitely don’t want to try and do a two coat process. You are better off doing to cope processes on things without as many hard to reach areas. Hopefully that helps
@@710performance Thanks for the reply. I see. I mainly got it to get my Harley Sporster done. Wanted to change the glossy black to something less glossy like flat black, although I was also looking into the satin black which I think will be more of a black without shine type thing. This will be my first rodeo and hoping everything looks good, people might want me to do their bikes or other jobs. Like I shared with you on my comment on your previous video, I'm retired due to my disabilities and having all this time on my hands (although I'm thinking on going back to school for mechanical engineering at some point), I'm sure this will be a great outlet for my PTSD and something to put my time to good use and if it brings me a little extra, why not do it. I just don't want to go way over my head on what projects I can take although I have to be realistic and know that on a sense, the Eastwood dual voltage gun is sorta an into gun. On my Harley I'm thinking on doing "everything" except the frame at this time. Mainly the gas tank, fenders, covers, calipers, handle bars, etc. and if that brings me customers, I would mainly be focusing on rims, valve covers and things alike.
If my Sportster project goes as planned and it brings me customers, and things really pops from there, I would love to upgrade to a better gun to be able to do more and better jobs. That will also allow me to bring some of my wounded veterans brothers and sisters to help me with the extra work load and help them have that same outlet I know I will have with powder coating and maybe inspire them to start a business, not necessarily on powder coating but in whatever they wish. Sadly we have lost so many veterans by suicide due to PTSD and if I can make a difference to stop that number from rising, I will do all in my power to make that happen Thanks for your reply and I look forward to your next video!
I am going to put up my first posting to advertise this today. I still have my dual volt eastwood gun i have been doing 2 stages with translucents and clears with not too much of a problem would you recommend getting a the pcs- hot coat gun for me since im not able to afford a top tier gun yet but still has more ability than my dual volt?
It is better than the dual voltage for sure and it was a great steppingstone for us so I don’t think it would be a bad idea for you to use it as a steppingstone as well.
@@710performance ok thanks for the reply. I was also contemplating making a youtube channel. is it something that you find to be worth while financially being a smaller channel or sometimes do you feel the time editing and making content can be spent making money powder coating or more of you your using this like a catalog of work and for potential customers rather than views?
Good information ....question would the Harbor Freight powder coater machine be good to start with and then upgrade a little later and how about their powder Coat powder
I have not use their system so I don’t know, as far as their powder coat I’ve heard that it works well, but unless it’s something you’re going to use regularly maybe you should try prismatic powders or something like that. That way you’re getting used to the powder that you will normally be using. And having a dual voltage system will be much better than a single voltage system so keep that in mind when choosing your system.
@@710performance okay cool thanks for your comment.............I'm trying to get my little garage setup for sand blasting, powder coating a little bit of paint work and Welding and Fab work and I work on cars also............I know it's a lot of work but I believe I can make it work
A ton of great information here, definitely helpful to get people going
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome content. Very informative.
Glad you think so!
As always great video. I do a little bit of powder coating on the side and I had a business reached out to me to see if I could do semi rims . I use a stand up freezer that i turned into a oven but it's not big enough. I need to build a bigger one and I see that you use propane for yours. My question is does it burn clean enough not to leave residue or am I over thinking it. Keep up good work and videos.
You’re not overthinking it, but we do not have any issue with residue it burns clean enough.
@@710performance ok thanks for responding back. I will go that route on heating. Thanks again.
Do you have videos about anodizng?
Sorry we do not
another great vid keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
Such valuable info! Thank you!
You're most welcome! Thank you for the support!
Great info! I'm curious about the consumer blend rim strip without the meth/chloride. I don't plan on registering as business but would like to find a suitable stripper. Maybe you could try it out and give a review video comparing it's effectiveness to the high grade rim strip.
At the cost of about $400 to $500 per 30 gallons, we're better off to stick with the regular mix with meth/chloride as we know it works. The other consumer blend we've heard works, just not as well as the original blend, but you have to leave it in the stripper longer.
Keep up the good vids👍👍
Thanks, will do!
where can i get the equipment???? at low costs. currently have a rim and tire shop looking to expand into this. thank you
Where are you located, how much do you want to spend?
@@710performance nyc. Under 7-8k if that can get me everything needed. Booth oven and powder system. And anything else. Any tips.
@@moe4706 will you only be doing wheels?

Good info.

Awesome content!
Most appreciated!
Offerup is a good place to advertise and buy things cheap
That's a great idea!
Great advice! I'm not 100% on this but I don't believe you can ship any chemical with methylene chloride to a residential address even under a business. This could be a state by state rule? Someone, please correct me if I am wrong though!
You may be correct on that, I just know that for them to be able to ship it they didn’t ask if it was a home address but they didn’t need my tax ID number and my EIN
thanks for another cool video
Thanks for watching! We appreciate the support!
Learning alot loving the new vids!
Awesome! Glad they are helpful to you
