Help with handling/grounding candy topcoat

[tjazcustoms]

Yesterday I coated a small bracket with xtreme chrome and it looked great but the flamboyant blue topcoat didn't adhere that well. My question is how am I supposed to get a good ground after the chrome is applied. I clamped the clip to the chrome but the blue stayed real powdery and came off in spots when I transported to the oven. Thanks for any help!. This site is awesome!

You can not get any grounding if you attach the grounding clip over top of the base coat. The grounding clip must make contact to the bare steel of the part you are coating. To have good grounding for the seconded coat you may need to file or sand away a small area of the base coat for the grounding clip to attach to. If you are ever unsure you have good grounding you can use a regular multimeter to double check it. hope this info help

Just use the same spot as you did for the base coat. I hand my parts with wire, so the wire does not come off untill they are done, that way it allwys is grounded to the same spot for all coats
