Last night I powdercoated for the first time! What a wonderful experience, and fun too! I've been reading on these forums for months now. I've learned alot, and it has helped. Instead of writing everything up again, and trying to size pictures to fit the forums, I created a webpage:
Some things I learned:
*HOLY **** IS THIS STUFF MESSY!
I had poweder everywhere when I was done.
*It works better if you turn the power to the system on.
*Living in a high humidity area sucks.
Even though I have two water traps, I was still spewing water through my airhose.
It was causing problems witht hte gun and the cups were getting wet when I blew them out to clean them.
I had to wipe the cups out and wait for them to dry.
*I got switching paints down to less than five minutes.
*SUPER CHROME IS THE SHIZNIT!
I was really impressed how this actually looks like chrome!!
Thanks to all whose ideas I have copied and help you all have given with your palethera of information!! I hope to have more parts done and pictures up soon!
