    Good info! Would love to see a Evo x valve cover in the near future on how you remove baffles and how you put them back on and go through the whole coating process.

      Seems pretty well available. More expensive than green diamond and I'm told it's dusty but seems to be a good option for those with limited access

    Hello from MontreaI, I would like to thank you for your tips.....I've coated my FIRST WHEEL today. Even if I have done few hundred parts in the last 2 years. Never did aluminum wheels before, Damn I was nervous, even more than a first sexual encounter. Man I'm proud, made them in mirror High Gloss Phantom White.

    Can you powder coat steel valve covers & wheels? How about cast iron engine parts? Will it work on aluminum covers with epoxy filler or silver solder? Thank you for showing us newbies how to do a pro job.

    I did my whole procharger system took the procharger apart and did the whole kit illusion cherry I think it’s called and I had to add another item to it’s called clear vision. It’s a metallic colour hoping it turns out bomb it’s high gloss so

    I'm assuming the cover is aluminum or some metal that cannot be magnetized? Are you hot flocking it and if so at what temp do you recommend so that there is not alot of powder build up and therforedoes not run when heated in the oven? Thx. Another great video.

    • @UnknownCoatings

    No commercials as of now but that usually changes when you “monetize” your videos. I think you have to set up an account with ad share or whatever it’s called to get paid. And it doesn’t matter how many times you do the same part, It’s good to see everything a few times cause every part/color is different.

    • @UnknownCoatings
      @UnknownCoatings  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah they had me setup for monetizing but I dunno how it works. Not super worried about it

Do you have any issues with it not staying at the stream u are shooting at and have to shake the hopper or line to get it to come out? I’m seriously thinking about turning my PCS back in and grabbing one like yours. How do u feel about yours? Any issues u deal with?
