    Ive been racing motocross for almost 25 years and ive recently found your site.I have never commented on a video but after watching your vids i just had to comment. Your an amazing builder /mechanic your attention to detail is comparable to an artist. Its always a pleasure to watch someone whom not only knows what they are doing but loves what they are doing also. Both of which you obviously do. Your also an inspirational person givin the adversity you faced. Keep up the fantastic work cant wait to see your future builds.

  • @cerakotewarrior2751
    @cerakotewarrior2751 Před 4 lety +3

    There are a few things you should do before cerakoting engine parts, 1st check the tech data sheets to make sure the colors you're using are high heat cerakotes and if the part will be exposed to the sun, the tech data sheets also tell you the UV index/stability which states how well the paints hold up in the sun. Burnt bronze is good up to 500 degrees but the color will fade at around 350 and its UV stability is considered good. 2ndly you should be running your cerakote through a mesh filter before putting it in the gun, for metallics use a 100 mesh and for all others run a 150, high end cerakotes like elite series should be run through a 325, C-series does not need a mesh. 3rd your gun should have a .08 fluid needle I believe (cant remember off the top of my head) and when Spraying your parts should be hung up and 3-5 inches away with a 3 inch fan @ a 30 degree angle down, then up. (Octagonal spraying for barrels/rounded pieces etc) 1/2 fan overlap...so when you have a spray line...your downward motion should overlap 1/2 of your 1st spray line. 3rd you should only coat the same areas twice max to ensure your hitting within the 1mil-2mil recommendations, anything past 2 mils your going to see chipping over time because your now coating over the substrate you blasted and onto the cerakote itself, cerakote doesnt stick to cerakote, it sticks to substrates so it's best to stay within recommendations. 4th, you can control gloss index by obviously ratios 12:1,18:1,24:1 and finally other factors like ambient curing vs going straight into oven while wet and also the temps, like 180 for plastics @2hrs (250 for metals @2hrs or 300 for 1 hour depending on desired glossiness) this is helpful when trying to match glosses with different thickness of metals or plastics, obviously thinner parts will cure faster than thick parts. I've included tech data sheet link at bottom. Lastly you should have a moisture regulator on your air generator (eliminates moister in the lines) as well as using an oven that has a fan built into it. Hope this helps bro!

    You're a true inspiration dude. Really impressed. About to begin work on one of my projects. Not sure which it will be yet. The options are:
    Bultaco Sherpa 350 twinshock trials - ground up restoration that I may keep for a while,
    Bultaco Sherpa 250 twinshock trials - ground up restoration that I will be selling,
    Honda CB-1 NC27 400 - non runner, needs a complete rebuild
    Honda CBX550 - basket case due to become a cafe racer
    Honda VF750F Interceptor V45 - another basket case due for total restoration to showroom condition hopefully
    And the most likely:
    CBR 125 - needs new piston, and because it needs selling
    Honda Varadero 125 - because I want to play with it a bit. Only needs a few repairs.

  • @dominicsbricks2403
    @dominicsbricks2403 Před 6 lety

    When using the spray gun it should have 2 steps in the trigger. THe first step is just air, pull a bit further and you will get the fluid through the gun. When spraying keep the air on, it will allow the paint to flow out smoother and not give a bit of splatter as you pull the trigger. The Ceracoat looks awesome!!

    Water pump seal is mounted the wrong way. I did the same on my cr125 on my first try. It's suppose to be backwards than what you think. At least that's what the honda manual says. May work anyway. Good work with the engine. Love your videos man. Keep it up 👌

    Be careful sanding magnesium. The dust is very flammable and once burning can't be put out. It releases it's own oxygen as it burns so you can only let it burn till it's done. Makes sure you vacuum up all the dust when your done.

    What Powder coating Machine would you recommend?

    Cerakote is Hands down the best Looking Color for any Chrome Engine.
    Could you do an Engine Restore, Polish, Cerakote on a CRF50 Dirt Bike or any Small Engine 4 Stroke. I restored about 5 Dirt Bikes with my 3 Sons and had a Guy do all my Powder coating. I did the Engine Covers, Forks and swing arms in White. Just restored and modified a 2007 TTR 90 and the Engine Casings will look wicked with Cerakote.

    I've watched this video a grip of times I love it! What color, in spray can, can I get that looks similar to your cerkote paint job? I'm building a motorized bike and would love to make it look like your cr.

    would this work on something like a exhaust and air cooled barrel, or is this not heat resistant?

    Approx how much burnt bronze cerakote did it take to do the head, clutch cover, water pump and rc valve cover?,
