So, I had this red powder from HF and I powder coated a valve cover with it. Dry adhesion was great. I put it in the oven and after flow out, some places looked like someone fired a shot gun at it (pellet spread). Looks like a cluster of pores, in other words. I thought it might have been the powder because I spend a lot of time prepping the covers and the cover sits in the oven for at least an hour to outgas (at 400).

So then I used EW mirror black and it smoothed out real nice, but then again, I got those custer of pores. So, I let the cover completely cool and put a cooled layer of powder over the entire cover again and it gets a bit wavy (more than likely due to heavy powder thickness).

Surely this is something quite common and is already remedied. This has to be something I'm doing or not doing.

Can I hear some experiences and change in technique that eliminates this?

Thanks.
