The trick to the stickers to get better lines is let the powder fully flow. Right after you get smoke let it roll about a minute longer. Then pull the part out of the oven. Be ready with your dental tool and pull the stickers at the 120-160 range. If you get any sticky residue let it cool a bit more. After I started pulling the stickers hot I haven’t got a bad line. Doesn’t madder the powder either. ‘Candy’ ‘wrinkle’ solids.. all pull about the same.
Also when the part starts to cool hit it with a heat gun for just a few seconds. Heat a few letters ,pull them... heat a few more. Rinse and repeat.
Good video brother, my big oven build is still coming along slowly, but LOTS of other stuff going on around it as well, still ramping up to get out of being confined with small stuff as a limitation, as well as the 50 hours per week at the "regular" job, and life going on around them both to fill in the gaps.
Been learning PC on our own for the last few months. Basically, we needed more creative control over our projects. Stuff we don't need to be creative with (typical forks, frames, etc) I still send to my great vendor who always does a great job. However, the small batch creative stuff is what we like to do in-house. Been doing vinyl cutting for decades (as well as CO2 laser cutting) and have tried to figure out how to use them with PC process. This video was well done and answered so much for me. Your issues with the letter "K" was well explained and answered my concerns that I had going in. Your results were exactly what I had in mind! I look forward to experimenting and sharing anything unique we discover back to you. The Avery mask, is it 100-235-S? Many thanks!!
Jim Sawaya thanks for the awesome feed back. I specialize in it custom stuff and do a lot of R&D in my own. As you can see it like 98% of the time it’s just me doing everything lol

No respirator allways a good idea.
Should have used an abrasive pad on a 90 degree die grinder and made swirl marks on the valve covers so it had pattern in the letters.
Nice work! So why not leave on in the oven while you pull the stencils off the other?
Max Carter you right but I was just trying to do it fast lol
What about when the metal your coating has pitting from sand blasting a rusty area. What would you fill that with to get a smooth finish in the end?
Love watching your videos on this stuff 👍👍☝️
Fugeml Priks thank you
As always great video Reno. Thanks for sharing.
Also. When removing vinyl mask you should always keep the transfer film flat and roll it off.
Awesome! First ive seen with vinyl cut masking. Can the clear coat on the valve cover be buffed and polished?
Hi.I just start in PC.I see all yours videos and read your comments,this has been very helpfull to me. I congratulate you on your work and progress. The first gun i purchased was from eastwood ,but now i need to improve my setup, I was thinking on buying a Columbia 3.0. I need your opion on if this gun is enough for coating wheels with more than 2 coats or would i need something better. If so what would you recomend.
DOC17p that is a perfect gun. I still use my 2.0 and it’s over 3 years old now. The 3.0 is a lot better and will last you for years
Welcome back
id like to see the new powder gun set up you have there. thanks.
Ricky Newton I need to make a video. I just hardly have time
What did you use to scuff up the black parts before clear coating them?
For the cover, nothing cause it’s supposed to have the logo polish look. As for the wheels I strip and then go over them with a green scotch bright
@@2024_rebranding and for the gloss black at 3 minutes in do you use the same scotch bright on those?
@@johnclark703 yes sir
@@2024_rebranding awesome thanks for getting back to me about that loving the videos y'all do some great work.
Awesome!
Nice 👍🏾 👍🏾
Thank you! Cheers!

Coating the back side of the wheel is definitely an issue. Not for failure tho. If you dont tape it off you will never get a true balanced wheel. The other issue I see is the center of the hub which causes the lugs to seat improperly when coated. I'm a wheel specialist so I'm pretty sure I'm correct seeing as how I've dealt with these issues first hand.
Well I've been dealing with tires for about 35 years and I've never ever had an issue getting a true balance because you balance them after their powder coated when you put the wheel on the rim so powdering the back of the rim has no effect on it whatsoever
It’s not an issue of “failing” or not balancing properly. All mating surfaces (specially parts like wheels, calipers,etc) should not be coated in order to be properly torqued down. If not you should recheck the re torque the wheel periodically.
If adhesion is an issue or powder is too thick it can definitely cause issues. What is balanced today might not be tomorrow. The wheels in video looked really badly pitted with blast im assuming but that could have been hidden after coats. Polished aluminium needed to be keyed! Nothing for the powder to grab
Time to get you a go pro with a head mount homie.. Dope video though!
kipling gilder I have one I also have stands, lights and gimbal stabilizers. My just busy and it’s easier for me to pull my phone out than it is to set up all the equipment
I missed it but what kind of tape are you using for the stencils and the clear to shield the back of the valve cover?
dcartier100 Avery high temp paint mask. And just a low tac see through with grids transfer type. And for the masking on the back high temp silicone tape. Orange is rated at 500 degrees
@@2024_rebranding Great thank you !!!!
Nice work man. What is the name of your power coating gun setup you use. What air pressure you use with this gun system
Glyne Collymore hit me up on my group page on FB. Powder Koating Kings and we can help you out
Im using eastwood powder coating kit, chrome and black powders are sticking perfectly but other colors such as atomic red won't stick at all. Do you have any advice? thank you
Adnan Daadaa jump on my FB group page ARMOUR KOATING KINGS. we can help you out better there
@adnan try using a better ground. Using the Eastwood alligator clamp won’t be a good enough ground for many two coat applications
can i powder coat in a tropical or high humidity climate?thanks for the video.
Yes you can. Humidity doesn’t really have much effect like it would on paint because of the oven. Paint has to air dry but powder ‘flows’ ‘cures’ in the oven. Once it cools down it’s bullet proof. Just make sure you have a way to supply dry air from the compressor. Even a few cheap dryers from amazon or Harbor Freight work fine. If you get fuzzies add another dryer.
Hello, nice video...how much is something like that cost to do. Thanks
Tony Marquez about $120 or so
You put a clear coat on before doing a "half cure" on the black. Have you seen any issues with that for longevity or the powder failing? Thanks!
Matt C I don’t know why it would fail I am still fully curing the part at the end
@@2024_rebranding makes sense. Just curious since I learned how to powder coat mostly from videos like yours. I love learning about the processes used by successful coaters such as yourself. Thanks for the reply.
Matt C I also have a group page on FB called “Powder Koating Kings”. It’s a bunch of people I have helped and people that has helped me. You should check it out cause we can help answer any of your questions or problems you may have
@@2024_rebranding I just joined the group from my business page... KillerBeeCreations
Where do you get the sticker stencil? Is it a certain material?
Un Known its AVERY HIGH TEMP HIGH BAKE PAINT MASK. I get mine from us cutters.
Nice vid on tips! What is the name and model of the powder machine or is there a web to go to to purchase? And where to purchase quality powders from?
Mista Shanksta the gun is an intelicoat system and powder I get from prismatic powders and Columbia coatings
@@2024_rebranding thanks and I've heard of Prismatic Powders. I just thought perhaps there's better powder that has hit the market. Most of the vids I've seen, none has been explained quite like yours. If you do a vid on two tone on a car rim that would be great.
I notice a lot of orange peel in your powdercoat , are you using too much ?
Awesome
Sir please tell me clear coat is also available in powder yes are no please tell
Azhar Aurang Zeb yes sir it is. Use it all the time
@@2024_rebranding thanks thanks thanks for your response thanks it's was new think for me thanks for replying
Less ads on tv
What temperature are you curing at and for how long?
Edgardo Valera 400 and the powder cure time
I like those gorilla decals. Is there a link to the stencil?
the punisher no I just got it from the customer
I would like to speak with u I have interest to lear how to >>>>>>>> thanks
Jose Lora Quezada I have tried calling you a few times
Jose Lora Quezada I have tried calling a few times
@@2024_rebranding whats the best number or email to reach you at
No respirator...
Yep.
PLS CALL WHEN U CAN THANKS
Great video with lots of good information, but really drop the UH's makes it hard to follow what you aressaying! Don't worry you're not the only person who speaks and says UH when they are speaking, Sorry I try to not let it bother me but when you say it soo many times during your conversation it takes away from the quality and content, just my thoughts on that. I learned something new about power coating from you so all is not lost... Thanks!
David Atkins thanks and yeah I am not a professional speaker, I am still learning. Or really teaching myself lol
Armour Koating absolutely unnecessary criticism dude, I didn’t even notice. Being yourself I’d totally fine!
Lack of powder. Very orange peeled
Invest in a tripod
Those valve covers look terrible. If I was paying for that I'd either make you re do them them or go some place else. What was most disturbing is you didn't even seem to care. Sad.
they are actually really awesome and still on the drag car till this day. customer is super happy with then. yeah they are not polished but all the lines are crisp. check out fowler racing on FB aka silverback
