Default Re: I guess I'm doing something wrong....

If I do put 2 coats down, is it mandatory I sand it down? I'm assuming sanding it will put some texture on the powder to give adhesion to the powder? I never thought of that (though this is not related to my thread topic).

I will definitely try the way you described. It's real close to what I'm doing, but this may be a matter of tweaking the process a little to get it right. I also just switched to aluminum oxide 70g to blast parts and I just did some wheel centers and I have to remark that they look better than glass beads. And in less time. I think there is a combination of things, but I'm going to focus on ensuring no water or vapors are in my air lines and to ensure there are no foreign particles on the substrate.

As always, thanks for your input. I get excited when I see "harley dad" posting replies
