d.) why do the heat/cool down to 150 then coat rule?
welcome to the board bro.
A) any metal that can handle the cure temp can be pc'ed.
B)this is true on most pot metal.
C)this is true. also you can use jb weld original not quick set but it sometimes has lots of pinholes as it is sanded smooth.
D) the main reason for this is if you are outgassing the part then you pull it out of the oven let it cool to 150 and shoot while still warm. it will help the powder attraction as mike said and less waste. it also will help you see if you missed areas that might be light on the coverage.
last tip i can give is when you find/make an area to spray the powder, get as much light in there as you can the more shadowy areas you have in the spray booth the more mistakes will be made.
