I just scored an Eastwood dual voltage gun (new) with $150 worth of colors, plugs, tape and a small toaster oven for $200 off Craigslist the other day. Also, got a mint electric house oven for free off CL a few weeks ago. Did my first batch last weekend. Wanna do a grounding rod next. Having fun. Great video. Thanks 👍
Thanks for watching and good luck!
Lol, so her nick name is “Concrete” good info to have. Thanks.
Awesome. I’ve gat the same D/V and I put it away after the first use. It was spitting. Maybe I should rethink it. The quick color change makes it worth having another look. 👍😁
Sweet!! looks good
Safety FIRST..always wear a face mask....no matter what anyone says...
Great thank you Dan. You are my trusted channel...... I have an Eastwood dual volted and yet I feel more comfortable here than on the Eastwood Channel,,,, shhh. just in case I need to go to them....lol
No worries they don't watch my channel haha
Those parts you cut out look good! Congrats on plasma CBC! Should pay for itself in no time!
I hope so it was not cheap
Right Now Powder Coating I don’t doubt that!! Probably a lot fun though!!!
1 thing I noticed is the psi builds up between the dual voltage and the compressor.. that’s like the only huge flaw for the price!! Glad u made a tutorial I’ve seen other you tubers talk about how it’s just a terrible gun but really it’s good for certain things!!
Let me elaborate a little. The psi builds up in the hose causing a huge powder burst which can be annoying but I normally run it around 10-15 psi thanks for the psi tip!!
@@brieflean I feel that too man
Eastwood got heavy on ya to do a review gave ya a good touch up looking at ya eye
This gun can have professional results?
Can work with weels and bike frames?
Love your videos
Hey guys! Love the videos. They have helped me a ton with my home set up here in Colorado.. I've noticed you at times heating the wheel to 180 to allow for easier adhesion. When this is done, Can you still vacuum the excess powder from other areas of the wheel where you do not want it? Or will these pre heating process make it too difficult to remove unwanted powder in areas?
Appreciate any response and keep up the good work!!!
Nope it melts, must spray ovold to remove powder
Hey, I've been using the Eastwood gun for about a year as I learn the in's and out's of powder coating. Love the vids! So you hook the part to your grounding rod then WHERE ARE YOU HOOKING THE GROUND WIRE ON THE GUN? I'm assuming just hooking it to your ground wire somewhere???? I've been trying second clear coats and struggling with the back-ionization and starring. Using the lower voltage level. I watched your dual coating video. I see you hold a greater distance on the clear coat. HOW DO TO GET IN TIGH SPOTS WITH THE CLEAR COAT? JUST keep spraying? Problem is I think I'm getting too thick then.
Also, any recommendations for a next level gun? I'm starting to see the limitations of the Eastwood.
Thanks!
Glad you are okay. What does the concrete look like? ;)
Have you thought about grounding thru the booth / rack the parts hang from or at least thru the hanging wire so that you do not have a 2nd clamp blocking the part from powder bonding?
I have and we have done that, the ground rod is actuall right next to the booth wall
You said you run three or four psi? I can’t even get the paint to flow out of the gun and less I have it around 15 psi. Most of the time I have to shake the powder around. By the way I have the same exact dual voltage Eastwood gun. If you have any tips for me I would appreciate it.
Hey buddy, great videos thank you. I am learning lots. Seriously thinking about starting this as a home hobby, then……..?? Just a little tip from an old man. Next time you pick a fight with inanimate objects. Choose cotton, or pillows or something soft, unlike concrete.😂😂😂😂😂
haha, solid advice
@@RightNowPowderCoating I’ll be in contact, I have to heal first. Thank you again not only for the information, but, the entertainment too.
I've got a simple question. How do you minimize powder spillage when filling the gun's bottle? Have you found a little scoop that works? Thanks, I've watched a lot of your videos and am having fun with my PCS-250.
Who won, you or the concrete? 🤜🤛
Concrete 1 Dan 0
Hi, sorry for my ignorance but wouldn`t it work if the ground clamp were attached to the wire you`re hanging the parts? I`ve never powder coated so I have no experience..
Is it possible to use automotive pearls and flakes and mix it with clear powder to get similar effects as spray painting the pearls?
Yup, its best to try small though to see how it reacts. Lots of people already add metal flake.
Do you notice a big difference with your upgraded grounding system compared to the stock grounding system that comes with the eastwood system? Thanks!
absolutely, even with intro guns a good ground is always a good idea and its cheap.
Thanks for the video, but who hit you? 🤔
Are there any smaller nozzle tips so that we don't waste too much powder going into the thin air?
tons of different sized, check out my last video, i explain it a bit
Do you know where I can get Eastwood plastic bottles that are not eastwood? Eastwood gives a good price on the bottles and the charge you a crazy amount for shipping
Concrete ....Right ! Got smart with the wife didn't cha !
On mine I taped the button to the gun handle with electrical tape. That way I can press the button with my thumb and pull the trigger with my finger at the same time. Frees up my other hand for holding a light or spinning a part
Great idea!
Quick question? Do you like the powder system you using now, and would you recommend it for professional use. I'm looking for a powder coat gun but there's so many out there. I really only want to spend the money one time. What do you recommend regardless of price.. thanks a lot..
Love my gema, would not use any other gun
Is there a way to make a quick disconnect for the power to the gun from the power source? When cleaning the gun it would be easier if I didn't need to take the whole gun and power supply out to blow out the gun. It would be easier If I could just disconnect the gun from the power supply.
you mean disconnect the electrode wire? Im sure you could take it apart and figure it out, but really its not that difficult to take the cup and just blow it all out, less than 30 sec.
Where is a good source for the hanging rolling racks us use?
We build them
Link to a good air regulator?
Also, every time I go to spray the gun it spits out more powder then adjusts to the regulator Setting. Any idea why it doesn’t maintain the pressure I set it at and not push a lot more air out when I squeeze the trigger?
amzn.to/3mD3QgV
I would try something like that, regulate it there and run line to your gun. If your shop air is not sufficient it could lead to issues also.
@@RightNowPowderCoating could it be that I’m using a little 3 gallon compressor? Might try a 6 gallon compressor and see if I get steadier spray. I think it will be a bit overkill to connect it to my 60 gallon LOL, thanks for reaching out! Love the vids!
Hey rocky!!! Lol jk
How come you didn’t connect the ground to the wire above the part? So powder will still adhere on a part when you remove ground from part? Confused 😐
Yeah if you coat the rest it rarely has any issues sticking, the wire above is positioned where the ground wire would touch part
Right Now Powder Coating I see! Kool!
i am going to install a grounding rod outside of my garage pretty soon. This will eliminate using the little grounding cable with the gun?
The grounding wire on the gun is to protect the gun, not to ground parts, it should always be grounded.
@@RightNowPowderCoating So still clip the ground wire from the gun to the part or on the metal that the part is on? Along with a ground strap coming from my grounding rod? This will give better grounding for the powder to stick to the part better?
@@ericc8895 what gun are you using?
@@RightNowPowderCoating eastwood dual voltage powder gun
@@ericc8895 Oh ok, so no you will not need the ground on the gun at all, you may still want to ground it, it wont hurt.
💪👍💯
Ok, so I just purchased one of these guns, have not had any time to play with yet, but i have watched all of your videos and many more on it. I have seen many videos of people doing upgrades to it, I noticed you have taken the tip off of yours. Anything else??
These are very simple guns so you cant do too much. I took the end deflector off because I did not like the cloud it produced. My only other suggestions would be to get a bunch of the containers so you dont have to clean them out to switch colors and to make sure you have really good air filters. Nothing is more fustrating than getting flaws in the finish due to oil or water. Good luck and have fun!
Once I get it started I want to upgrade systems any advice on the next level system I should look at.
Gema Gun is top of the line in my personal opinion, thats why we have it!
What happened you beat the concrete
When next live Q&A
Not sure, want to do one in the shop some time.
Are you tryna' get in on this? lol
If you’ve got a earth in the ground why are you pressing the button, I thought you only do that when the earth coming from the gun, or am I wrong
The button activates the charge, not the ground.
@@RightNowPowderCoating oh right I’ve seen them Nordic guns, they’re only cheap but that’s the other way round, thanks for putting me right, great videos dude
they dont call that guy concrete for nothing!!!
No Mask? :(
