I watched this 2 part video no less than 4 times before I attempted it. I'm glad that I did, because my project came out perfect! I know that the video was a bit noisy at times, but hey, it was in a classroom not a studio. This video is a Treasure Trove of information! Thanks Mac for posting it!!
You should also use a scrap plate to blast your piece on, the plate saves the bottom screen and your rubber gloves ( blastng a peice in your hand will eat the gloves to quickly. Putting it on a scrap peice reduces excess wear on both items. With the plate size be sure to allow enough flow through the screen to let the sand and air in the cabinet to work properly. Saves time and money in the long haul as well.
Tristan Patterson I’m a dirt track racer, and my very good friend / sponsor just bought a 4x8 plasma table, and the Eastwood Starter kit!!! We have parts already cut out, and plan on powder coating some this weekend!!!!
I'd like to see what the result of using an anti-static gun, or moving the ground on parts that have areas that are resistant to being powder coated. As long as the words impossible, or can't isn't in your vocabulary. There is always a way.
Sounded like he said "7100 aluminum oxide". You can call Eastwood in Alsip, IL and ask for Vince to clarify. I'd call him myself, but I'm deep into a Fiero clutch job.
Absolutely, positively not. If you try to sweep or vacuum up excess powder from the bottom of whatever you're using as a spray booth, and then put that powder back into a jar with clean, dry powder, whatever dirt or moisture is in that swept-up powder will contaminate the clean powder in the jar. And it will potentially ruin whatever job you use it on. Excess over-sprayed powder? Toss it out.
Yes, but I have a feeling it would be a good idea to experiment on a fiberglass piece you don't mind sacrificing before going whole-hog. It has to survive the 300-400 degree powder-coat curing process. www.quora.com/What-is-powder-coating-fiberglass-used-for

This guy does it all -- bodywork, powder coating, related automotive work. Eastwood is extremely fortunate to have him on staff as an instructor.
Thanks for recording this class. Great information!
You're welcome!
Nice little system, been powder coating professionally for 4 years
To fight the feriday effect move your ground clip to the opposite end of the part.
Hello! What if you dont have sandblaster? Thank you

I've seen some shit on youtube but this was actually a great place to learn about their product.

Looking to set up a little shop at home
ive used some of your guys semi gloss black and it will not stick period, but i switch to silver vein ore, it sticks... what gives.
So I’m having issues with center caps on tires. How does everyone do center caps after they do the rims?
Useful information... Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
What could you use if you don’t have a sand blaster?
Sand paper and some elbow grease 💪🏻
Another way to break the charge is to put the part back in the oven for a couple minutes.

can you powder coat a dodge ram hood ornament
Did he say 70-100 grit aluminum oxide?
Sounded like he said "7100 aluminum oxide". You can call Eastwood in Alsip, IL and ask for Vince to clarify. I'd call him myself, but I'm deep into a Fiero clutch job.
Why does Eastwood recommend "Glass Bead" rather than your "Aluminum Oxide"?? Is there a different other than grit?
The glass bead is not as abrasive as aluminum oxide. Glass will have almost a ghost effect to the part.
Can you reused the power coat that is fallen off. ie. the excess power that does not go on the piece.
Absolutely, positively not. If you try to sweep or vacuum up excess powder from the bottom of whatever you're using as a spray booth, and then put that powder back into a jar with clean, dry powder, whatever dirt or moisture is in that swept-up powder will contaminate the clean powder in the jar.

Hi can you powder coat fibreglass parts
Yes, but I have a feeling it would be a good idea to experiment on a fiberglass piece you don't mind sacrificing before going whole-hog. It has to survive the 300-400 degree powder-coat curing process. www.quora.com/What-is-powder-coating-fiberglass-used-for
