Good explanation! You're the only one with only powder coating in my list. Thanks(Y)
thanks glad I can help
Great job yet again, I enjoy the depth you go to in regards to what and how your doing it thanks mate 👍
Glad I can help, Not all vids will be how tos, but I will try to knock out all the common stuff
Once again: nice video! I'll keep following your channel here in the Netherlands. Especially with the current situation i have some spare time on my hands... Keep posting vids!
thanks! I appreciate it!
Sure cleaned up the look of that manifold.
Yeah. Wait til you see your valve covers
@@UnknownCoatings looking forward to it!
Rim right is the only one that does videos like you that is until I get my gema
nice let me know when you make a channel and post vids!
fantastic video can't wait for the next one lol, when you out gas do you blast again
Yes very briefly. And thanks for the kind words. New video coming up
I use Echo Supply for plugs, they are about the cheapest and great materials.
yeah I have gotten some from them. I work with hightempmasking now as a channel sponsor so most of mine come from them now
Lovin' the videos! What kind of grit are you using in your blast cabinet? Keep up the good work!
30-60 green diamond
Great tutorial.. I'm looking into having my LT1 intake manifold powder coated gloss black.. and also looking into having my timing chain cover powder coated in gloss black.. I'm in the process of doing a restoration on my 94 project trans am from the ground up.. but with BMR fully adjustable suspension etc..
Nice that should be awesome! If I can help in any way, be sure to let me know!
@@UnknownCoatings thanks my friend when I get to that point of my top end removal I'll keep you posted. I'm sending my head's and intake out to Loyd Elliott in Texas to get Ported and machine work done.
@@UnknownCoatings I subscribed to your channel too👍🤙
@@keilylmm6377 thank you!!! I appreciate it!
Thanks to all the great advice for you and 710 Performance I think I’m going to finally start my own channel. You two have inspired me more then you will every know. I had a few small personal videos on my page but after picking both of your brains I’ve went out and invested in equipment like Pressure blasting pot, oven, media cabinet, rim strip and more. I’m sure I’ll have a lot of ups and down being green but I just wanted to thank you for your help. I do have one question though would you mind if in the description I put your channel ? If you don’t mind how would I do it? I’ve downloaded vids before but never saw a spot to add someone else’s channel. So again thank you very much. I know I have no clue how to edit videos or any of that stuff but I’m sure in time I’ll learn but please feel free if you ever have any down time check the channel out and if you see something I can do better or something I’m doing wrong please let me know. The only way I can get better is advice from people like you guys.
Green Mountain Media Blasting & Powder Coating.
Ps. All my questions will still come from this channel and now GMMB&PC
Of course man, glad to hear you are getting motivated! I think you can just link channels in the description. I have never tried. I shoot all my videos on my phone and edit with an app called InShot pro. Its AWESOME and I highly suggest it.
Ill help where ever I can and good luck with it all!
I use high heat vinyl to tape off wheel flanges only down side is you have to pull off before full cure
could just use tape...
New kid on the block here. I noticed you mentioned using a flashlight helps location trouble area on things like this (silver on silver). Could you elaborate on that technique please?
I find cutting high temp tape so ASMR-y lol
come do it, you wont.
Good video as always, is there a reason you don’t use high temp plugs vs. the bolts?
I actually use both. Just depends on the project, PREFER bolts but I only keep a few sizes. and no real reason why
Also, try "Right Now Powder Coating" on TH-cam.
yeah saw a few of his vids
I've always practiced never touching things barehanded before coating because of skin oils only because I've read that you shouldnt. Dosent seem to give you problems, what do you recommend?
well just like you said, doesnt give me problems. now to be fair, I live in utah where its SUPER dry, and I think that plays a huge role in it. I cant expect everyone to follow my lead but I have NEVER once had a problem with it, so until I do, its likely I wont change.
Love the video I’m just getting into the powder coating game myself and have been using your videos as a guide. I’m looking to powder coat a Holley sniper intake like this but a transparent gold color. If I wanted the raised letters on the intake in black what would you recommend?
spray the black, partial cure, then let cool, spray a chrome base, wipe off black letters, full cure, transparent gold, wipe the letters off again and full cure
@@UnknownCoatings Thanks man I'll give it a try!
You don’t get service like that from many people hey? This dude is the best thing on TH-cam.
On the areas that you put the high temp tape, why can you not just mask off with regular low tack masking tape so no powder gets on those areas ? Carefully pull tape after spraying powder and before putting in the oven. Touch up with finger on edges if necessary like on raised valve cover letters, then bake.
why would anyone do that? lots of reasons not to, cant think of one beneficial way unless you just dont want high temp tape?
Can you do a video on Grounding what your powdering?
The booth is grounded. I have a spring video coming up that shows some grounding alternatives
Unknown Coatings thank you sorry about all the questions
@@Dusty.Does.it. no worries at all man. Happy to help where I can!
Never needed 6 inch before but uline has it but damn , $195 though ?
yeah found a few options today thanks to this video lol
I also watch a channel called Right Now Powder Coating
Ill check em out
For your stripper what do you use for a mask. I’m looking for one on amazon but was told N95 isn’t for chemicals and the ones that say chemicals are $30 and i just don’t trust them. What do you use? Would you have a link?
honestly no mask is gonna help much,. I try to be around it for 30 seconds at a time and just hold my breath lol
Unknown Coatings damn thar shit is bad. I contacted 3M to see what would filter out the chemical and they told me nothing they make will but he suggested a company to contact. So I contacted them and they have a mask that will that and 100% of all toxic chemicals so I bought it.
Right now powder coating,following them for only 1 day more than following you.
#basiclyfe !!! Lol thanks again man.
enjoy it sir!
There’s no channels “like yours”. A few good videos here and there but most are people (who have no idea what they’re doing) attempting to create a diy/instructional video.
haha yeah sort of the reason I started doing this. I appreciate the reply!
You never use primer before coating??
Not unless I need to. Some steel stuff. never on alum unless im using it to smooth imperfections or casting
Can I ask what type of tape you use and where you order it from?
Its just Amber High Temp Tape, I dont use a specific brand honestly. Amazon 99% of the time
@@UnknownCoatings thanks.
What blast media do you use to get that flat white finish?
Green diamond 30-60. Greendiamondpm.com
@@UnknownCoatings thanks for the quick reply. I want to blast a cast iron tortilla press and wasn't sure about media. I thought maybe walnuts. Thanks for the info.
Is there a difference between that amber tape and the greenish hi temp tape?
I believe the Amber to stick better. Remove easier. Easier to cut
The greenish stuff always wrinkles up for me when it gets baked to 400, too. Not a fan.
Josh Tolbert does it?? I guess I gotta get that amber tape then
@@perknowitzki7158 in my experience, yeah. If you don't leave any edges flying it helps, but I've just not gad good luck with the green stuff.
...Could just be the Eastwood tape is trash, too.
@@JoshTolbertUrbana same. Green always peels up when doing 2 stage colors
Your powder supplier's includes color samples like small pieces of it?
yes most do
What tape did you use?
I use Amber High Temp Tape from Amazon, no specific brand honestly.
How much you charge on you how to’s ?
I dont charge for how tos, I just make videos of jobs I am already doing? Or are you asking how much I charged for powder coating this manifold?
What is outgas??
using heat to remove impurities in the metal prior to coating.
You shouldn't powder coat intakes. It makes them run atleast 20°+ hotter than a bare aluminum intake would. which effects performance..
Oh, interesting. 20 degrees? Got some data to back this claim?
