- This is the first attempt of using the powder coating system from Harbor freight. There’s a learning curve and in the video I go through some of that learning curve. In the end I’m very happy with the result. Hopefully if you watch the video you’re learning curve will be even less than mine.

Do they sell fingernail clippers at Harbor Freight? Good hell man.
facts i thought i was the only one shitt
😂
😂😂😂😂
💀🤣
Right?
The different threads on the bottles were a real kicker.
hey you went out on a limb. You showed there is a learning curve for doing new things. Good on you for doing it! And a bonus is doesn't look half bad.
I just bought this system today.... Found this very informative.... Thanks for the video!😀
This thing really works well... I have used it for a ton of projects with an oven I got from Eastwood... the powder is fair... faded over time in the sun. Other powder I have purchased has held up better... overall, a good value and works as advertised!
Bud clip ground on the wire you are hanging yr part from it will help you a lot. Also only fill powder 1/2 full with 5psi-8psi
I forgot when u make a mistake like that so u can see clear streaks do a light scuff on that whole side of the part and revisit whole side for even cost
10 min cure time starts once the part reaches 400*
The harbor freight powder bottles are the same as the old Sears bottles. I’m not sure who actually makes it. I think it’s numb that they don’t fit, but a full bottle is to much. Fill about half way.
There’s two golden rules with powder coating: 1) part has to be spotlessly clean. No dirt, rust or oil’s trapped under the coating. 2). Have the right heat setting for the right amount of time. Heat and time has windows such as 20 minutes means 18 - 24, and heat 400 means 385 - 415.
The time and heat are examples not exacts. Think about what’s happening in the process. The coating is an ultra fine polymer. On the part it melts and bonds to the crevasses in the part and to itself. Like cooking candy; at the right time and heat it goes from soft and playable to harder and ridged.
To little heat and the bonds are weak and the coating is soft, to much heat and time the coating becomes brittle.
Sorry to ramble. But to show how forgiving it it, I powdercoated rims by dry stacking cement blocks on the ground and hanging an oven element inside and covered it with sheet metal. Some experimenting and an caution and the rims are still perfect five years later!
Great video! Careful, powder coating is addictive. Soon you’ll want a bigger oven and more stuff! Oh, Prizmatic Powders has the best powder IMO.
Dude! You should really be wearing a respirator or at least a dust mask. It's fine paint particles flying around the air you are breathing! PPE is essential!
Yeah if you watch this video he comes off a slightly low IQ child....so its not his fault.
All things aside, the best part of this video is you are learning and there's nothing wrong with learning as you go on your own.. 👍
What would you say was your best takeaway from this experience??
Hemorrhoids…definitely the hemorrhoids
Also, you have to sand the part and treat it if you want to repowder. It won't stick to itself.
I have never powder coated, but i would think preheating would be OK, just don't leave the rack in their while heating.
dont know if you figured it out allready? But some other guys on youtube said you should not fill the bottle too high, then it keeps dropping big gobs of powder. Also if you find that you get better result by squeezing the trigger less then you should turn the pressure down on the regulator as that is what you prettymuch do with squeezing the trigger les as wel.
Great video, I want to do the same thing
use a regulator at the gun and that's way to much powder to put in powder tub. Only put about 1/2 to 1 inch from bottom.
Should have put the wire on the metal hanger not the object itself
frustrating the box does not disclose the need for a separate air source
Maybe you should look at a video on how to powder coat at home?
Ok , i worked at and im ashamed to say it now delta shita faucet but i know how to powder coat let me help you out. 1.2 PSI , oven ok if you want but for that a simple heat gun would have done it. Thick powder coating then you need 300 to 350 for 5 to more , the thickness of the metal will decide the length of time as well as the type of metal
How do you power it? what is the source
plug it into a wall outlet... you also need a compressor, the powder is projected by air and attracted to the part by static electricity.
Its crazy the amount of mfers that gotta jump on here talking about how "bad" you did. Like where tf is the video of your first time doing this. Keep doing you man these people talking down like they were just perfect day one really just hate themselves and feel the need to make you feel like they do. Now off to fuck up my first time powder coating i go😂🤘🏻
If you heat a little bit is easy to paint before you apply
Helps if you put the thing in the oven for 10minutes and then powder coat and bake sticks on a lot better
Blacks not hard though it’s the candys
Your air regulator is set too high. Try it on 4 or 5
Cool video. Thanks for making. Could you clip the alligator clip to your hang wire so not to have a mark on the finished product?
That’s a really cool idea, here’s my untested thought. If the hang wire is metal and if the ground connection is strong enough while hanging the part on it then it should work. My concern is that it won’t be a strong enough ground connection. If there is a way to connect your ground securely in a place that doesn’t need to be powder coated, I think this would be the best overall solution, because you can ensure a solid ground connection. Next time we or powder coating I’ll want to try this. You’ll know if there’s not a good ground connection because the powder won’t stick. Hope this helps
Use copper as ur hanging wire ull be fine excuse my grammer.
@@livefree6878 it does not matter if your wire is metal or copper. You should clip the alligator clip from the machine to your wire or hook (needs to be metal) instead of to your part that you are powder coating. Don't overthink this process, but make sure you READ THE INSTRUCTIONS to figure out all the adjustments that may or may not need to be made.
Has thermal camera, uses scissors for pliers
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wear gloves. Fingerprints on the part will cause problems.
You're using the wrong type air regulator. That's why it pukes out powder at first squease of the trigger
Every time you open the oven door you lose heat! Dah!
😂😂😂 This whole tutorial 🤦🏽♂️
That Darrell walker guys a fkin weirdo man lmao. I think what this video shows that while yes he is new to powder coating even someone new to it can get a basic powder coat onto a part. Good on ya.
cool vid, but, duability point of view, it's not really worth it. Get a spray gun kit and use epoxy. Geat tutorial, though!
That gun looks so problematic honestly either that or mabye you didnt have the settings right but en quality was great practice makes perfect keep at it
Spain623 this I'd just as good as the Eastwood gun, but either of them need some kind of adjustment and the guy making this video isn't experienced at this at all and obviously did not read over the product instructions.
preheat your metal
Dude....Does harbor freight sell nail clippers...lol
The nails man🤦🏼
Are you not wearing shoes 9:22
You definitely did every thing wrong, first off should gas out, sand blast, then coat. Don't touch the part with your hands you will contaminate the surface. A part that big you need a bigger oven so you don't bump the part. The part needs to hit 400 before you start the recommended curr time . Not being a dick just helpful info. Also your compressor should have a regulator on it turn your air down you wasted all that powder becuase you gun is blowing out way to much powder. Good luck and keep practicing and learning .
Wym gas out? Can you wipe off fingerprint oil with acetone?
Stick to your X-Box :)
On todays video: How not to powder coat because i have no idea what im doing and should have practiced a LOT before filming.
Those nasty fingernails...I saw some Covid under the thumbnail
Sorry bro, this was painful to watch.
You are rookie. Don’t do how to’s unless you want to be known as the how not to do.
