- This is how I Powder coat some tumblers in the garage. And how I apply decals to the cups and using them as a stencil to leave a logo on the cup in stainless steel.

Never seen this done before but I like it. Can’t wait to try.
It honestly a super simple process.
What did you use to make your stand? I have something similar but having a hard getting the ground to work. I like how you used a washer (is that what it is?).
Never mind I read your comments and see where you bought the stand
Do you have a review on how to make that base that holds the tumblr while you are spraying? Or any pictures of it? Trying to figure out how I want to make mine.
No I bought them from Columbia Coatings.
I have trouble with the vinyl shrinking when waiting for the powder to flow out. What vinyl do you use? Do you have any tips? Thanks for the video!
Greg Allen yeah absolutely. I use Orcal 651 vinyl. You can also get high temp vinyl. When I’m doing decals. I watch it closely and as soon as it flows out ( maybe 2-3 minutes) I pull the cup. Let it cool down to about 125 and pull the decal. I have had my vinyl shrink on real small thin lines. I hope this helps.
My adhesive from the vinyl stayed on the tumbler when I pulled the stencil off. 1) any tips for removing the adhesive but not the powder coat? 2) do you know why it did that?
You may have pulled it when it was to hot still. I try to pull mine when it’s between 110*-130*. But you should be able to use a magic eraser to help clean that up. You can also use acetone or denatured alcohol after it’s been fully cured.
Is there a certain type of vinyl for the heat and what is it
How did you do your ground? I think I have an issue with not having a good enough ground… I’m extremely new to this(only have done 2 pieces. I do horseshoe art). I know I have a ton to learn and any advice is welcome 😊. Great job on the cups man!
Thank you. I ended up doing an earth ground also. Put in an 8’ rod right outside my garage door.
I am just getting supplies for powder coating. I have been doing epoxy tumblers for about a year. What are the recommended temperatures for the oven?
For most powders it’s about 400°
Most companies either send instructions or have them on the website(Eastwood does any way)
What vinyl cutter do you use? Thanks!
I'm just getting my feet wet with this process, I'm wondering is it necessary to seal with Clear powder coating paint or can I leave as is and If you do have to seal does it make it shiny or will it be a matte finish?
No I used a gloss black. And it came out already shiny.
The Nutthouse Okay so if I wanted a matte black I do not have to seal it? I can just leave as is correct? Thank you so much for your quick response.
Creative Vinyl Designs By Rebecca Escott no you don’t have to clear it.
So how do you like that Kool Koat so far ? Finally ordering mine this week. And also , is there a place to order those tumblers or are they store bought ? Seems to be a lot of money involved being store bought
M Gears I really like the gun. I don’t seem to waste as much powder. As far as the cups go yes these are store bought because I got a really good deal on them. There is a place online that you can buy them from and they’re a little cheaper than the stores it’s stainlesssteeldepot.com and they seem to run pretty good deals cups between $6-$7 each. Now I know that’s not much different but it’s something.
@@TheNutthouse1 That's actually a good deal , here where I live those sell for around 15 - 20 a piece. Thanks for the info !
@ M Gears that’s good then. I try to get a single color with the decal for $35.
@@TheNutthouse1 Good to know , don't know if you seen it but Columbia Coatings sells metal art and they sell for a decent price
M Gears I’ll check it out.
What do you put in the top of the cup to keep the powder from getting in it
Billyz Designz I use a silicone plug. I ordered the cup kit from Columbia Coatings. You get the stand and the plug. They make the plugs for different size cups so make sure you pick the one you plan on using. Yes got both sizes just in case.
The Nutthouse thank you
Anytime
Do you have a link for that specific powder you used?
I use mostly prismatic powders and you can find them at prismaticpowders.com
Where do you get your decals from?
I make my own decals.
Are you using a heat gun to rewarm the cup to keep the powder soft?
On some of them yes and some I used a torch. Heat works better because it’s an even constant heat; we’re as the torch is faster but you can mess up the project also.
@@TheNutthouse1 thanks
What type of vinyl do you use
What are the advantages over just painting/epoxy?
Just right off bat id say turn around time. Once its cool to the touch its ready to go.
What vinyl are you using for the logos?
Oracal 651
Hey, are you using a standard kitchen oven? Electric?
Jacob Porter yes it’s a standard kitchen oven. Well I have a double oven and that gives me just more room.
@@TheNutthouse1 thanks for the reply. Do you have much luck painting a base color, laying a vinyl and then coating a different color to get a finish other than the stainless? Great work on the cups btw
Jacob Porter yes I have. Check out my video on the motorcycle parts. And thank you. Cups are fun to do.
Hello and how are you doing today? This is a wonderful turtorial! Do you have another one that shows everything a person needs to do this from start to finish. Like the name of the materials you used to apply everything and what you put on the cup?
What powders are you using I mean Colors please
What time and temp do you bake at?
Each powder is a little different. I believe this one was 400* for 18 minutes after the part your doing reaches the 400*

very tedious... nice job!
get rid of the nasty music and this would be decent video!
Thanks
I don’t mind the music keep doing your thing man, this looks great.
