If you totally clean up and repair a rusted part, then powder coat all sides. Will that stop it from rusting any further, or again? I have a 2001 Titan that is showing some minor rust and would like to stop it dead in it's tracks!
I'm wondering about this too, I did a vinyl masking for a powder coat job last week and had major issues with the amount of adhesive left behind. I was thinking I could use Toluene or Xylene to remove it but I don't want to hurt the finish of the surrounding paint.

Just a tip.. You shouldn't tear your vinyl release liner (backing paper).. it will leave small fibers on the adhesive.. You should use scissors or a knife...
@@savage6394 The "clear vinyl" is actually transfer paper. I was talking about the RELEASE LINER. If you don't know what the different items are,, it probably doesn't matter to you..
@@twistedhillbilly6157 you must not be at all familiar with powder coating. If any “small fibers” were to make their way off of the RELEASE LINER it would be of NO concern. You did hear him say that the Vinyl was only being used to mask the area as to show the base color when it was removed, Correct??
You missed a spot, top left corner. Although I will say before watching the end result, if you were going for the red print which would have required the the gate to be light coated red, then the vinyl with the top coat, not quite finished in the oven, but warm enough to pull away the vinyl. We don't call those dental tools, we call them weeding tools in the vinyl industry. Over all, great job. Let's see what it looks like out of the oven. Xyloff or VLR are used to remove the adhesive residues.
hi, im looking to buy a plotter and vinyl paper...but I have no clue on where and what too get. could you tell us a bit about the machine and where you buy your paper and stuff? thx a lot..looking forward seeing the S10 finished!
I rolled into v2. I decided that the money I put into the project to begin with was money I was ok with losing. Fudders are the only reason we are in the current predicament. Lets weed out the week and build it back up to what it once was.
The tailgate looks awesome could you powder coat the whole truck or is that possible it would look pretty cool if you could pretty sure it’s not possible super big oven
Not sure it was over a few days when I had a second to breathe.....unfortunately the truck has sat ever since....hope to get back to it as the temps climb.
First thing. It looks Great. My self, I come from a paint background, and have a few questions having never dealt with powder coating before. I'm assuming the vinyl is high temp of some kind, I've never looked into it. what kind do you use? Do the lines remain crisp when you peel the vinyl off? From what I can see on the video they look perfect. And can clear powder coat be wet sanded and buffed to remove orange peel? Thanks for putting this out. As soon as I get my setup done, This has opened me to all kinds of possibilities as to what can be done.
Hi Dan, tail gate looks great. unfortunately I have another problem, I coated some rims blue came out great then put a clear and they came out with pin holes. Can you tell me why? I think it may be to light on clear powder not sure. Thanks again for your time. Jeff
Your work is beyond incredible, I can’t wait for my pieces to get to you. Once I located you, there was no doubt in my mind I wanted you to work on my pieces.
I 3D printed flexible (TPU) jaws to go in a crescent wrench for this task. Could also do inserts in a couple of sizes up for a socket. Cheap cheat method is to use thin foam tape or a few layers of electrical tape on a wrench or socket. I go the nearest next size up, like for a 6mm (.236”) I’ll use a 1/4” wrench. You don’t want to oversize too much or you’ll round-off the corners - which is why I prefer the padded crescent wrench jaws. Another hillbilly option is to use a piece of very thin old t-shirt (i save them for throwaway rags) or even that blue shop towel style paper towel. They do also sell padded jaws for channellocks, and Kobalt has a soft jaw adjustable wrench but I hate that style tool. If you don’t need much torque even a cheap kids plastic toy set crescent wrench works. And I just had a silly idea. Why haven’t I powder coated a crescent wrench yet?!? You could still use a strip of electrical tape to keep it from scuffing,but that might work.
@@RightNowPowderCoating Do you think Toluene or Xylene would work to remove it from large areas or would they potentially damage the surrounding powder coat? Asking for a friend...

I have a problem with adhesive being left behind. What are you using to remove the adhesive

seeing these engine covers takes me back use to paint all the Corvette engine covers and Cadillac torch red and sport silver what a blast in the past
Great video. Powdercoating myself. A bunch of dirtbike parts. Love from sweden👍
I like the way you film your videos. It sort of makes me feel like I'm there hanging out and just spectating. Thanks for all the helpful hints.

What vinyl are you using???
Nice Job!!!!! What do you use for clearcoat?
Great video as always .
I can't wait to see you do the rest of the pickup. That colour is amazing
thats seriously impressive looking. great job

Why would that matter? The clear Vinyl was only used as a Medium to Hold the spacing.

Oh no its a complete strip

Stay posted!
We have a 40’ oven in Houston TX that’d work for that 😉
hey, thanks for all your vids. I don't know if you're aware but some of your videos seem to have low audio on the right-hand side.
How do you keep you parts, racks, and hooks grounded? I assume your gun is electrically charging the powder
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge so openly. How long roughly did it take to do this tailgate start to finish? One full day or perhaps more?
Not sure it was over a few days when I had a second to breathe.....unfortunately the truck has sat ever since....hope to get back to it as the temps climb.
@@RightNowPowderCoating awesome! quality builds take time, looking forward to it

Can I ask what vinyl you use ?
just basic exterior grade
How do you get your second coats to stick so nice I'm guessing we don't have a good ground but i love watching your videos
Was the black fully baked before you put on the vinyl? I can't remember.
LOVE the color, great job and thanks again for sharing your journey with us!
Nope just in the oven for 5 to 10 mins.
So just barely flowed out. Awesome
@RightNowPowderCoating what's the starting bake temp?
Does the clear coat completely fill in where the decals were pulled off so it completely looks smooth ?
Amazing. Keep up the great work.
How do you deal with adhesive residue what do you use to take it off
How did you end up getting the adhesive off
Can I ask what vinyl you use ?
nice job
Thanks!
Are you using a particular vinyl? Removable, permanent or HTV?
Its just like a basic sign vinyl.
Are you sure you like that color blue?…. Looks super. Is your plan to powder the entire truck?
I do like that blue....and that's all that matters since it's my truck lol. Yes, whole truck....hopefully soon as I get power to my new shop.
Is that automotive paint primer, or powdercoating primer?
Powder price
Can you use a regular socket to tighten a powder coated nut/bolt without chipping it? Or is it special sockets and wrenches for it?

How do you avoid orange peel in flat panels ? Awesome job
Luck, lol. Its practice, getting right distance from part, right spray pattern, right mils ect. Some powder just wont lay smooth.
What kind of vinyl do you use
cheap stuff from Fellers
How did you deal with the glue residue that was left over?
Just kept rubbing at it with my rubber glove and it came off.
