Did you use Prismatic clear vision for the clear coat.Just curious,cause I have heard it has a lot of orange peel.I have heard tiger drylac clear is the way to go.I am just getting into doing multi coats and want to use the best product.
Great work!, I'm not familiar with iron phosfate, after aplying the wash how long does it need to activate and does it need a clean water rinse afterwards? Thanks for your attention, new to this trade
It only needs to be on the part a few minutes, you can watch it change color. Rinsing is optional, I typically just blow it dry and it works fine for me. Happy to help!
Before we had the stainless tray and walls, we just had a curtain around a set of drum spill containment platforms. We just took the grates out of the platforms and put them in the new stainless tray. (Search "drum spill containment platform")
Excellent Video! You mentioned briefly having the first layer of powder coat almost cured before applying tape and foil over it to avoid the masking from damaging the first coat. I just experienced this damage from not having the first coat nearly cured before taping/masking off to apply a second color. My tape and masking ruined the primary color and now I have a mess! If roughly 4 minutes is a partially cured powder, then what time frame do you use to determine a nearly versus a fully cured paint? I am at the point of not risking the masking damage and just fully curing the powder first color before masking and applying the second color. Any help would be appreciated! Thank You!
To be completely honest, it's more of an estimate as to how much it has cured. It all depends on the mass of your part and the heat capacity of your oven. Cure time goes by the time the part is at cure temperature, not necessarily by just how long it is physically in the oven. The best way to get around this for this type of project is to just go ahead and full cure the first coat, do your masking, and then scuff the area that's inside the masking. Then you're sure your second coat is going to stick. You may not have the same bond as the two coats would if they melted together from a partial cure, but you'll get a nice mechanical bond that will be more than satisfactory.
I feel like I have spent a fortune on media blasting but it's so slow and media doesn't flow well. Could you give advice on PSI and what gun you use for blasting?
Well, I've spent many hours behind the gun on a siphon feed cabinet. We finally splurged and purchased a pressure blast cabinet and it makes all the difference. Are you on Instagram? DM CrossLinc and I can give you some info on the best siphon feed type gun and setup.

I don’t see why you trimmed the 2tone the way you did. Looks wonky. Should’ve gone in the crease of the curve or to the edge unless where it changes color will be covered. Pretty sure that’s visible when installed and customer was like wtf.
Great content. I have a powder coating channel myself so I know how much time the videos take to do. Great job 👏
Thank you. Yes, they definitely take some time to put together!
Lol I have the same rear end im looking to coat. That’s why I was looking for videos. Quick performance great stuff. Looks good great job.
You do awesome work! I'm excited to get a rear end housing powder coated for my car.

@@CrosslincBiz Thank You for your response. It is Greatly Appreciated!!
What brand of oven do you have?
It is a Colmet, 8x8x10, natural gas.
I like that green take down then foil and fiberglass tape over. Smart way to do it. What fiberglass tape do you like best?
We prefer to get our tapes through Echo Supply. They seem to be a bit better quality than anywhere else.
@@CrosslincBiz I'll check them out thank you
@@CrosslincBiz just bought some stuff from echo supply. That is a good site thank you 🙏
@@GMPowderCoating You bet! I like the extra wide rolls of green poly tape. Much more efficient at masking.
@@CrosslincBiz we got 4" green tape and glass cloth tape. Is the glass cloth tape the one you called fiberglass tape
what kind of powder gun is that? Columbia?
It is a Gema Optiflex 2.
Hi, what kind of FePO4 cleaner/wash is that?

I went over the masking line with the customer when he brought it in. So, that's where I put it. And if the customer's happy, I'm happy. 🙂
