Default Re: thin areas on bike frame using metallic

That's a common tough area. You get the Faraday effect in tight area's like that and powder does not get attracted. Things with tough area's like that, I shoot hot, and no voltage. Just no voltage for those tight area's. Shooting hot will allow the powder to melt on contact, and you can see how much is being applied. Then, once all the corner/tight spots are done, you can turn on the juice and spray the whole thing. Just allways remember to do the hard area's first, and the easy one's last. That way you lessen the chance of over applying in the easy to coat area's.
