      Hi Deb! I think the same about you and your videos. That sure would be fun to travel to God's country again. I'll get busy! Thanks for stopping by! The birds thank you. I think the sparrow and dove are becoming friends. Best regards.

    I am impressed how you fixed up that rough looking bumper and made it into something that looks very nice. I enjoyed watching the steps you took to fix it up. Well done my friend!! Good work as always! Talk to you later.

      Hi Lloyd! The heat gun is slow, so I'm going try my infra-red propane heater next. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a pleasant weekend. Best regards.

    Ciao Todd! I enjoyed your video! Thank you for sharing with us your works! So we can understand that there is a lot of work behind! So nice to see your new look with short hair... You look younger for sure! Many greatings from Modica to wishram!

      Ciao sweet Melania! Thank you. You are most welcome. I feel younger with less hair, but all my strength has vanished. I'm saving a lot of time not having to comb my hair anymore. Just kidding! I came up with a new saying this morning: "Turn on the cold water and turn on the life!" It's true; try it! Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Many warm greetings from Wishram to Modica.

    That is some transformation. I have been working on my sons moped today its about 60 year old. Lots to do on it.. My son helps when I am no there and caused about 5 times more work.... Good hair cut I meant to say before.
    Oh if anyone looks at the underside of the bumper I think you have the right to back over them lol. Ok no over.. What temps do you need to cure it?
    Take care.

    • @ToddAndrewCole
      @ToddAndrewCole  3 роки тому +1

      A 60 year old moped sounds like fun! You're supposed to bake the powdercoat at 400 F for twenty minutes after flow-out, which takes about 5 minutes usually. It's nice to be respectable again and have short hair. Take care.

    Nice work Todd! Looks very good for an inexpensive home job, especially after seeing those "before" pictures! Is there anything you can't do? ;-) Glad to hear the little sparrow is doing well. Is it flying outside on it's own? Does it want to come back in the house? All the best to you Todd, and your avian family!!!

    • @ToddAndrewCole
      @ToddAndrewCole  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Bart! Thank you. I haven't let the bird outside yet; I want to make sure it can feed itself first. I'm not sure what will happen when I do let it outside, so we will have to wait and see. The bird continues to do well. It was practicing its singing yesterday, which was fun to hear. Thanks for stopping by. Take special care.

    Very interesting - how's it holing up.
    No doubt this method melts the powder but was there enough heat to also bond?
    Cheers

    • @ToddAndrewCole
      @ToddAndrewCole  Рік тому +2

      It's holding up pretty good where I got enough powdercoat on; I can see some rust peeking through in some spots where I didn't get enough coverage. So, I think it bonded pretty well. Thanks for stopping by. Best regards.

    Hey Todd your bumper came out great! One thing I’m not clear on, do you paint on the powder coat and then do the heat process? Just curious what the substance was like. I always assumed it was “powder” . 😁

    • @ToddAndrewCole
      @ToddAndrewCole  3 роки тому

      Hi Heidi! Yes, you spray on on the powdercoat, which comes out as a powder, and then you have to cure the powder with heat until it melts into a liquid. Thanks for stopping by. Wishing you a pleasant weekend. Best regards.
