Guest KraZ4spd Posted September 2, 2001 Share Posted September 2, 2001 This is what I'm going to buy! Specialty Coatings Browse all Items click here -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Powder Coat at Home With Professional Results!!! Powder coating has long been recognized as the professional choice in the coating industry for durability, ease of application and chemical resistance. Auto manufacturers have been using powder on suspension and underhood components, as well as wheels since the early 1970s, but recently the wide choice of colors and show quality "depth" have given the restorer and customizer a new coating choice. Professional powder coating shops have seen the trend and will accept small automotive parts... but at a professional price.

DavyZ Posted September 2, 2001 Share Posted September 2, 2001 I know a number of guys on the forum have been pleased with the results of their Eastwood systems. I have seen other systems out there, but I don't know how good they are. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Does anyone know if this coating softens when the temperature of the cured part is again raised to the 400-500 degree mark. Specifically, would a brake caliper coated with this be a waste of time, or does the cured coating have a new higher melting temperature?

BLKMGK Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 I'm not sure about the secondary melting temp but I've seen this system in use. It makes for some VERY nice results. Chromed or polished pieces in particular look real nice when a translucent color is applied When I replaced my stove I came VERY close to keeping the old one just for this use but decided against it. Smaller pieces work well in an old toaster oven but you won't want to cure anything in the house and certainly not in anything that might be used for food at a later date.

blueovalz Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Hmmm, I guess I need to keep the wife from seeing that last post. We just put in a Viking comercial range, and the ovens are just the right size for.......oh yeah, a big pan of cookies?, right Hun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 Baking Powder at higher temps will cause it to have a dull finish after curing is finished. With the system I use at work we bake at 350 degrees for 28 minutes. I'm not sure if there is a significant difference between the commercial system and the Eastwood unit but I believe all of the powder is the same. Be sure that you don't have any fisheye in the powder when you apply it to the part as it will give you an unpleasant texture after the part is baked.
