Nice info. Been powder coating for about 6 yrs. Blasting makes a big difference on finished product for sure. To get rid of the lint/fuzz you mentioned you can take a propane torch to your piece as a final prep before coating to eliminate that. Not a lot of heat, just enough to burn off any little or fuzz left by your rag etc.. You did a great video! Would be a great shop teacher !
Just bought the Eastwood gun while watching your video. I work at a hot rod shop and our normal powder coating guy is 8 weeks out. About to try and do our small parts in house. Thanks for the great video!!
You've changed my life Sir! I will be powder coating everything from this time forward, mower decks, wheels, Lowers, tools, you name it, it will be coated. Thanks for the vid - Been contemplating your exact project for years now. Much appreciated - Thanks!
I had no idea just good infared heat could cure it. Makes doing a go kart frame once assembled more of a possibility. Thanks for the vid and the very helpful commentary feedback.
Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic! Information, trial everything was time worth spent watching. I’ve not commented on one video before but I wanted to let you know, well done! Saved me tons of time watching/reading on, “how to” powder coat myself. Very well done and I do appreciate all of your effort. Thank you
Fascinating DIY tutorial. Ian is to be commended for expanding the tests to include different part preparation variations along with pointing out areas of caution like the power receptacle coupling over-heating.
Nice video. Had no idea that a heat lamp could work. Probably could use multiple lamps then with great success on larger parts and/or have lamps that face each other to ditch the aluminum foil and have more consistent heating.
I have the same Eastwood setup that you have and I’m also looking at infrared lights so I can power coat a frame I’m building. Your video was really helpful. The foil was a great idea and the long part gives me confidence my approach on my frame should work fine. Thank you.
infra redlights are not that good, they are designed to be used on people not metal, get the ones that they use in kitchens to heat food from above when yourina Q waiting to be served or build an oven from a metal cabinet and get some heating elements in it......that is if you need a large oven.
Your common sense approach was welcomed. I liked the down to earth communication. Keep up the good work. I will be purchasing that eastwood kit today. Thanks
I've been powder coating for 29 years, I wouldn't wipe the product after blasting just use the air gun to remove dust, also you need zinc prime powder first to stop rust, powder coat is porous and will let water through and start rusting, only indoor pieces I don't prime, liked the video!
I use the exact same Eastwood system and powders. One thing you need to understand is having the powder coat turn from flat to gloss is only the first part of the curing process. Once it turns glossy, you then need to bake it for about 20 minutes to cure the finish. It makes it harder and more scratch resistant that way. You can make a cheap oven with an old metal coat cabinet and a couple oven heating elements and the thermostat controlling system as well. Then you will have the ability to do most any size vehicle part to include bumpers as well, depending the size cabinet you get. Thumbs Up!
Great video! I remember when I went through the same process years ago... I just bought an new Redline rotisserie from you last week and prior to, became a subscriber. Love your videos! Just a tip I use, try using a handheld propane torch to quickly go over your part to remove the lint... You'll it all light up as you do this knowing you got it all! Works great! A shout out to Josh and Nathan for their help in getting the rotisserie to me so quickly! Great company to do business with!
EXCELLENT job from a senior powder coater. ONE TIP keeping filters 100% moisture free. Everytime you get a SILICA packet in a box from something you buy throw it in that bag. The used packets should last you years to come, free, works better than rice and keeps the mice away!
I have been wanting to powder coat for years! When restoring a couple cars I painted the small parts with high temp engine or grill paint, both a strong enamel. Then I’d bake them in and old oven at 350 for a hour. When cooled the paint was as strong as any appliances’ My current project is to restore my 2005 Weber Genesis Gold B grill. I’ve bought all the parts that are available but powder coating would be perfect for thr frame. Thank you so much for this video!.
I loved the vid and the info you gave. You also gave me an idea with the infrared light, build a box for the parts and stick the light in front facing the parts it should keep the heat in.
@@RedlineStands Try making a birthday card from scratch. Back in the 80s I had Print master Gold top of the line. Every time I made a card it was 1 to 2 hrs. In the beginning it was 3 to 4 but you get faster as you go. I think most people get some satisfaction from their efforts.
Great video! You did all the trial and error for me...thank you! I was considering the same setup to powder coat but wasn't sure if it would work well.
I saw a welder in your shop. You may be able flow power current thru your long metal sections to heat and ref low the powder. So the power dissipated on the metal section is current squared times the resistance. Nice information. Thank for sharing.
Love this video, for months I have been looking at Eastwoods products for my CJ5 and Ram. Now I'm going to pick up a used oven to bake it in the garage.
I appreciate that. I was in dismay when I made the video live, it did a couple hundred views, and then stopped getting views dead in its track. I was like, "This video is great content. WTH happened?"
Thank you for taking the time to video your experience. I find it really helpful to see what can be done in less than optimal conditions. I wonder if you can comment on how much mess you had to clean up after spraying out in the open like you did? I would like to try some small powder coating in my basement shop, so it would be good to get an idea of what to expect if I try that.
The mess for me was no big deal at all. It's no difference than fine dust on the floor. I just opened the garage door and used a leaf blower to blow it out. In a basement I'd probably just sweep it into a pile. Be sure to wear a respirator while cleaning it up.
The HF red is pretty good, so is the black. It’s the same powder Sears sold. I get my powder from Prizmatic Colors. Don’t worry about lint free towels and never a TAC cloth. Clean with soap and water, break cleaner, and denatured alcohol. Blow the part off with high pressure air. Powder coating is fairly forgiving. I once coated rims by dry stacking cement blocks and hanging an oven element in it. I covered it with a piece of sheet metal. Five years later they still look great! I have powder coated everything on the Jeep that I can. It’s much more durable than paint. The difference in the two parts is that one may have contaminates under the powder coat. Always clean with DA or acetone. Great video! But it’s addictive and soon you will want to build an oven. Make a video of that!
Hi there. Try putting a heater on both sides it will bake better and for the longer parts if you could move them through like a conveyor you would eliminate the join mark. Cheers from New Zealand
Great video. There is a test that may be interesting where you scribe a grid of a set size onto the part to test for paint adherence that John Deere uses. It sees if the little grid squares pop off or not. It would really tell you if the different surface preps make a difference.
Watch out for parts being undercured, not being heated enough or temperature not being high enough, or parts being burnt, which is the opposite. Thicker parts will need more heat, but if it's to much, it will burn and then you will need to recoat it, which would be best to blast it back to bare metal beforehand
Good and informative. I have some deck railing that’s 2 inch square by 40 so the two part bake is good to know it works. Good idea with the infrared light, think I will build an aluminum box to get the temps consistent. Thanks again good video
Great idea. You answer a lot of my questions. I only wish you explained the compressor setup and the power supply setup. I would have created an 18 gauge steel backing rather than aluminum foil.
Really great video! Thanks for documenting your efforts. I'm just looking into DIY powder coating some galvanized window louvers and came across your video. You've made me feel confident enough to give it a go myself so, much appreciated. By the way, did you manage to get your heat higher than 150F or did the powder cure at a much lower temp than advertised? Thanks again
Since there wasn't much difference in finish, it'd be interesting to see a durability test across the different prep processes to see if there is any adverse effect.
Great job I learned a lot from this video and I will be testing much more . Thanks for exploring the limitations of this exploration into what can be done. Regards jim333
Very good information. I have 2 of the Eastwood Dual Voltage powder coat guns and they work great for the hobbyist. Build yourself a powder coat oven out of metal construction studs (plans everywhere on the internet). You can make it any size you want or need and it can be disassembled by removing some bolts. Subscribed.
angling the lamp housings will provide am bit more concentrated heat and give better results but having 2 heat lamps 1 on either side instead of just one will also provide outstanding results, quicker heat, better concentration of the heat, etc. - Oh, I'm not a pro either just learned from doing it myself; 2 lamp set ups also allow you to preheat and get better results offgasing the products....enjoy!
I just made something of which might be an alternative method to drying since the infrared lights are expensive and also gobble up tons of electricity. I bought a wardrobe box at Home Depot, 45" x 24" x 24", and a sheet of 2" thick pink owens XP sheet insulation (styrofoam). (snaped it in half in the store to fit in my tiny car).. I lined the inside walls which didn't even need any glue for bonding because the pieces locked them in place. I used the spare cut-off pieces to cover the top. Than, using only a tiny clip on light, used a 60 watt light bulb, laying on the bottom on a cookie sheet, I dropped in a small fan also to circulate the heat. After several hours it sustains a heat of about 110º F. I'm using this box to hang up guitars inside to dry out the pore filler..and that happens to be the exact temp I desired..can be varied by proping up the flaps on top a bit for more dissapation. Now that said, you could use a different heat source, maybe a 200 watt halogen light or many many other heat sources to bring up the temps to where you use it for powder coating. Just got to make sure that your box is big enough so that your heating source can be far enough away..might want to install your insullation on the outside of the box and line the walls of the inside with aluminum foil. The 4'x8' sheet of XP styro. was only about $28. What I really like about this is that it is not putting any more heat into my house (it's spring now)..so it's only like having on a 60 watt light bulb:) Plus I'm not paying for blasting it with a space heater (cost of the heater plus the electricity to run it). My 60 watt lamp is hooked up on a circuit that has some protection in case somehow things went wrong it will shut off the power before it melts down and starts a fire.
I got these ideas here looking at some vids on "diy kiln" or "diy large oven"... You could either build (sheets of plywood and framing)..or salvage something somebody threw away and then insulate it. The heat source must be able to tolerate the temp you want to sustain, thus ruling out using actual space heaters because they have shut-off devices built in and propane heaters have hoses which can melt. Got think outside the box (literally:)..a hot plate might work if you remove the plastic parts.
Regarding the issue of the powder not sticking to the weld, Eastwood told me: The issue seems to be being caused by the density of the welded area in comparison to the surrounding base metal that is causing the Faraday Cage repelling phenomenon to occur. Blow off the powder, try applying heat to the repelling area with a heat gun or torch to minimize the repelling magnetic field then reapply the powder by hitting the problem areas first then not passing over them again as the rest of the part is done.
Nicely done how to video. Lots of useful information regarding basic powder coating for we novices. I wonder if a person could utilize a infrared light on either side of the material to get more heat/faster heat or if that would be dangerous?? Looking forward to the rest of the build. Thanks
With the eastwood gun drill a 5mm hole 3/4 of the way up the pickup tube it will work properly or but a Nordic gun there much better great for alloy wheels
Great video. Very informative. Appears to be a good process for small parts. I guess if you were doing a complete car frame, then you would need an oven or something??
Doesn't matter how good it looks, if the powder didn't bake at the recommended cure time at a specific temp it will not hold up. Powders can flow out and be glossy at 150 degrees. Also have to take into consideration the thickness of the substrate you are coating. Get or build an oven!
Most prismatic powders call for a bake time of approximately 10 - 12 minutes at 400° (temperature of the powder coated part). How hot did the infrared light get your parts? What do Eastwood powders call for, for a bake time and temperature?
Nice info. Been powder coating for about 6 yrs. Blasting makes a big difference on finished product for sure.

Thicker parts will need more heat, but if it's to much, it will burn and then you will need to recoat it, which would be best to blast it back to bare metal beforehand

Throw a couple packs of dessicant in with the filters. It helps keep things dry.
You nailed it!!! Thanks! Very informative!!!
I just made something of which might be an alternative method to drying since the infrared lights are expensive and also gobble up tons of electricity. I bought a wardrobe box at Home Depot, 45" x 24" x 24", and a sheet of 2" thick pink owens XP sheet insulation (styrofoam). (snaped it in half in the store to fit in my tiny car).. I lined the inside walls which didn't even need any glue for bonding because the pieces locked them in place. I used the spare cut-off pieces to cover the top. Than, using only a tiny clip on light, used a 60 watt light bulb, laying on the bottom on a cookie sheet, I dropped in a small fan also to circulate the heat. After several hours it sustains a heat of about 110º F. I'm using this box to hang up guitars inside to dry out the pore filler..and that happens to be the exact temp I desired..can be varied by proping up the flaps on top a bit for more dissapation. Now that said, you could use a different heat source, maybe a 200 watt halogen light or many many other heat sources to bring up the temps to where you use it for powder coating. Just got to make sure that your box is big enough so that your heating source can be far enough away..might want to install your insullation on the outside of the box and line the walls of the inside with aluminum foil. The 4'x8' sheet of XP styro. was only about $28. What I really like about this is that it is not putting any more heat into my house (it's spring now)..so it's only like having on a 60 watt light bulb:) Plus I'm not paying for blasting it with a space heater (cost of the heater plus the electricity to run it). My 60 watt lamp is hooked up on a circuit that has some protection in case somehow things went wrong it will shut off the power before it melts down and starts a fire.
I got these ideas here looking at some vids on "diy kiln" or "diy large oven"... You could either build (sheets of plywood and framing)..or salvage something somebody threw away and then insulate it. The heat source must be able to tolerate the temp you want to sustain, thus ruling out using actual space heaters because they have shut-off devices built in and propane heaters have hoses which can melt. Got think outside the box (literally:)..a hot plate might work if you remove the plastic parts.
Male a foil lined box big enough for your part. The reflective heat will hopefully hit the whole part and give an even gloss
Blue moon , right on man. Great video
Great clip. Very informative and given me the confidence to give it a go. Thanks.
Great video, I watched to see if I could do my iron fencing. Don’t think I can endure the baking side of it due to size.

Nice job 👍 I like that anybody can do this.
Gave me a better understanding of the process
Excellent job thankyou
Really nice job. Love it.
Good video!
Shiny side of aluminium foil will reflect the heat where as the full side will let more heat pass through.
What size is your blast cabinet ? Also could you fit a 20×14 wheel in it ?
Great video sir I’m glad I found it. I’ve been wanting to do my own. Can Aluminum be treated as well ?
Where I live that lamp combined with the heat would be plenty hot enough that or get a small metal shed n do it in there
Great video. Very informative. Appears to be a good process for small parts. I guess if you were doing a complete car frame, then you would need an oven or something??
Nice. More than likely the few seconds the acetone was wet was enough to attract contaminates floating in the air.
Great Video
Nice work, thanks for the video
Good idea.
Doesn't matter how good it looks, if the powder didn't bake at the recommended cure time at a specific temp it will not hold up. Powders can flow out and be glossy at 150 degrees. Also have to take into consideration the thickness of the substrate you are coating. Get or build an oven!
Good video!!!! Could you use a battery charger instead of the electric kit ? If I wanted to save some cash
I wonder if you could use a propane torch or even a heat gun instead?
As far as I can tell you don't coat the insides of a tube? How do you prevent it from rusting from the inside out?
Most prismatic powders call for a bake time of approximately 10 - 12 minutes at 400° (temperature of the powder coated part). How hot did the infrared light get your parts? What do Eastwood powders call for, for a bake time and temperature?
