Tips
Powdercoatingis an environmentally friendly, corrosion and UV light resistantfinish. Although it is best done with precision industrial equipment, itis possible to experiment with it in a home workshop;
Clean and rinse all metal surfaces thoroughly, as with all paint coatings;
Use in a well-ventilated, clean area;
Collect all excess powder for reuse in future applications;
Remember,you will have to heat the coated object to cure the powdercoat, so youwill have to have an oven which will hold the piece, or be willing toapply heat directly with an infrared lamp for a sufficient time to cureit;
There are a number of sources for powdercoating powder, guns,and other equipment online.COLO is the biggest supplier of powdercoating equipmentin china;
Always Pre-heat the part in the ovenprior to coating. This will outgas any grease or oil still embedded onthe surface. If the part is not pre heated, any grease or oil still leftafter cleaning will outgas during curing and bubble the finish duringcuring;
