POWDER COATING


Recommended Posts

Posted

hey all, a couple months back i decided to take up a new hobby since i have downtime in the winter from work. I decided since i wanted a couple things powder coated on my truck id take up the hobby and give it a shot. So i purchased a powder coating system and quite a few powder coating colors, i bought the colors in bulk because Eastwood gave me a very good deal on them when i purchased more. I have access to an "oven" so to speak at work that can hold up to two rims at a time to bake the powder coating at a controlled temp that i have access to whenever i want. Therefore i was thinking if anyone is interested in getting anything powder coated I'm willing to do so for them for cheap. Id like to start with small parts (no wheels for the time being) and can do most colors, I have everything from blue, green, red, yellow, orange, black, matte black, grey, gold, bronze, gloss white, matte white, purple, AND I have a cream colored white that I bought with thoughts that it MIGHT match the pearl white color pretty close however I have not tested that theory yet. So let me know what you have that you may want powder coated and we"ll go from there. I know how expensive local places charge to powder coat things so Id love to help you guys out if you need anything powder coated and save you a bunch of money.

 

THANKS!

Subbed as well. Ill have to see what i would like done.

 

Out of curiosity, what are the dimensions of your oven. This is just so i know what you can fit so to speak length wise etc.

 

Also, do you have a media blaster to blast old paint/coatings off?

i don't know the exact dimensions of the oven however i can tell you that it will fit two 20" wheels at a time with a little room left (just wheels no tires obviously) so at least 40-45". And i do not have a media blaster at this time no. I only have the ability to powder coat and bake the finish at this time.

this sounds very cool - I'm subscribing as I know I will have some parts for powder coating down the line...thx for offering your services....

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
