- How to Powder coat and what powder coating gun to use in your garage or home shop. An inexpensive but decent Powder coating gun is the Eastwood Dual voltage set up.
Utilizing some simple tools that can all be acquired for a reasonable low price..We will be covering some pro tips as well as some step by step instructions on the powder coating process.
Be sure to check out my Giveaway video and enter before the end of this week. I am giving away a lot of cool welding related tools, etc.
Always be as safe as possible in the shop and make sure you wear gloves, eye protection as well as a respirator when powder coating.
some sort of ventilation to evacuate any left over powder in the air is smart. Yes i have a beard and the respirator I am wearing isn't a perfect seal but it is much better than doing this with no protection.
My name is Brad and on this channel we will be discussing welding related content, tips and tricks, shop talk as well as How to's and DIY stuff. If it all interested be sure to like this video as well as subscribe!
As always I greatly appreciate everyone support and I cant thank you enough! Below will be some links to some of the stuff used in this video today.

I thought this was a good video and it definitely inspired me. I thought something that would have really sealed it would be examples once you were done teaching. You hinted at it with the still at the beginning of the video with that one still, but you didn't show it at the end. Additionally, the still at the beginning with its multi-colors showed the results of a technique you didn't reveal. Lastly, what about all the colors and finishes we can use? Not only didn't you talk about colors, I've heard of chrome finish (I think) and that's something that could use some explaining.
You have a great teaching technique. Please think about a part 2 on this with some of those ideas.
Thank you!
@@cjburgh7580 Thought of that as well .
@@stevensanabria1326 I have a 64 Nova that I'm doing lots of work on & after the video "I think I just SAVED Myself about a Grand Minimum".
One of the best explained videos I have ever watched. Detailed and to the point, no B.S.. Ty. Good job Sir.
Thank you! That means a lot. I greatly appreciate it!!
Hands down best powder coating explanation for beginner and advanced alike definitely subscribing,love the detailed explanation keep em coming theres no one on youtube explaining the process step by step thanks.
Cool video!
I started with a toaster over I got from a thrift store for $5. While building a CJ5 I needed a bigger oven so I built one out of an old oven and old highway signs. Then I needed an oven for longer parts and I used an old school locker. I powder coated parts for the friend who gave me the signs and oven. He shows cars and we did a lot of parts for his 69’ Cameo. Word got around and now I make a few hundred bucks a month coating parts for people.
I never intended to have three ovens, and to make money off of it. It’s a fun hobby and it gives me fun money I don’t have to tell my wife about!
Thanks for the vid! It’s a great intro!
Great production man. Just binge watching all your vids. Nice work!
Great information and good video techniques. I appreciate the information, especially your "spray booth" for containing the powder. Thank you very much!
Man, this video is great! Lots of information, to the point. Very helpful and the quality of the production is top notch. Thank you!
Bro I’m sold, the freaking edits of this video are dope!!!
Great vid. I would certainly like to learn all I can about diy powder coating. Please keep em coming
Just subscribed, great video. I just bought a powder coating gun and fixing to try my first part. Great instructions that I will try to follow.
Great video!!! I build industrial powder coat systems for a living and this is about the 5th or 6th video I’ve watched this week on here about doing it at home and after watching Jimbos Garage doing it outside and wasting more powder than he was using it was actually nice to see somebody give good tips on how to do it
Hey David, Thanks! I appreciate you checking the video out. Coming from someone who deals with this professionally i appreciate your comment greatly!
Hey David, I'm totally new at PC. I'm 60 years old and need a hobby. Have painted a couple of cars on my own. Intrigued by PC process. When is best time to remove small stencils from coating process? Thanks for any info you could help with.
Great presentation. Super tutorial. I think you're a natural at this.
Very well done video, along with clear instructions. Great job!!
One last comment: I powder coated my first set of wheels for my Jeep by building an oven in my backyard out of cement blocks and and old heater element I had. I built a stand for the rims to sit on and covered it with a piece of sheet metal. I used a dollar tree electric thermometer and hung my parts on the kids swing set to coat them.
My point is; be creating. I didn’t have an oven big enough for rims and I didn’t really want one. It worked great. That was seven years ago and the wheels still look new!
Thanks for the pro tips. If I could add one it would be to make sure you have a really good ground. The guns use the electrical ground, but a lot of shops aren’t well grounded. Add a ground rod to your shop or house; it never hurts
Love the content bro! Your def getting the youtube thing down! Love the music u add as well. Really good audio! Keep up the good work!
songer121 thank you!
Killing it man, you can take this far! Made me want to go find sum stuff to powder coat! Keep it up looking forward to the next one.
Brad Garceau thanks a lot man, I appreciate it! Thank you for the support!
Nice brother, and thanks for taking your time to help people out with the info really informative.
For sure man! I appreciate you watching!
Just started using the same kit to powder coat motorcycle parts. Your tip on only using 1/4-1/5 of powder in the gun was super helpful. Much better results than using a full bottle.
thats definitely the thing that got me in the beginning! Glad i could help you. Thanks for the support!
@@hourglassingenuity103 1/4=25% 1/5=20% So you are saying no more than 1/4 of the bottle for best flow results?
houndogforever for best results.. the hopper should contain no more than 20-25% of powder.. Any More than that and you’ll have an uncontrollable erratic powder stream. Good luck.
Thanks for a great video. Very clear and concise. Much appreciated!
Chris Crumpler thank you! thanks for watching! I appreciate it 🙏🏻
Great video man! Value packed! Nice work
Great video, I've just bought a harbor freight PC system, I'm planning on doing some bike parts on my zx14. My oven i'm making out of a 31gal steel trash can and a hotplae at the bottom. My wheels have chrome that is peeling. I'm researching on how to remove the chrome.
Great video, excellent job explaining the process. Thanks!
Thanks for all the tips and ideas. Good work on the video!
Great videos! Keep them coming.
Good quality video, good advice.Thanks.
Very instructive and easy to understand Thanks.
Very informative.Love the videos
New subscriber from France here :) really nice video. I just wish Eastwood comes out with a 220V version for european diy buddies ;) keep up the good things like this !
Really thorough. Nice job.
Very useful video. Thanks.
Another great video. Your B-roll game is on point!
ShowMeThePony thank you!
I dig the music too BTW.
Very informative! Thank you!!
This was short and simple. Thanks.
another dope video!
I did actually buy my oven from a thrift store for a dollar! Great video!
Good stuff!!! 👍
I know this is an older post, but this is very helpful. I have a big job coming up. Taking the shell, flooring, etc off of a 1974 31 foot Airstream camper. Making sure the frame is in good shape. If needed I will weld on the pieces that need to be. Clean up the frame and then powder coat it. This is the big money maker for Airstreams. Many are over 40 years old. Who wants to take their chances on a rusted out frame? If you can fix up the frame, axles, etc., show and prove that the work on it has been done then the prices increases a lot on these things.
Your audio set up needs some work, I have to turn up for commentary then quickly turn down for the blaring music.
Aside from that excellent information.
I did not come here to listen to crappy music... why do some makers think we always need to be entertained? Just present the content, please... (since I know this will never happen, I may as well delete this comment...)
Very comprehensive. Thanks
what are those safety glasses you have? awesome video keep them coming
very good video. We have powder coated parts for assembly at my workplace and they have an attractive dimpled appearance that looks especially good on larger parts. Do you know how this is achieved? Thanks.
Does it work for all metals? Aluminum,steel ? I was thinking about a lot of bike parts rims frames
Hi what camera are you using ?
Super quality !
Eastwood take note dudes
Me and my son have a dirtbike garage and we wanted to start power coating parts. What would be a good kit to buy. Thanks for the video showed us alot .
If just pick up a gun from Eastwood. They have multiple kits on the website. Check them out.
Very good instructional video. I learned more from watching this video over several others for the past few hours. One question though. Are there times when you should NOT use bead blasting or chemical stripping of parts if are going to Powder Coat once they are cleaned? Thank you.
daytriker thank you very much! not that I can think of. As long as the parts are extremely clean they are good to shoot. Many methods to do so!
New subscriber, thanks for the info
Another great video and its always content i am super interested in. By the way what brand are those orange lens safety glasses with the side shields they are awesome
Fred Hadzocos thanks for tuning in yet again Fred, I appreciate it! I bought them on amazon. Google vintage safety glasses, I love them! 🤓
HourGlassFab can you send me a link or model number there is alot that come up
Great Video Thanks!!!!
Excellent video
Where did you get the air regulator and inline water separator?
Great tutorial Hour Glass! Is that DA the same as a "jitterbug"? Thx!
A da is a da dude.
what is the name of the first song??? I thought you put some thought into that when I listened to the lyrics in the beginning.
I wonder if I can use a shop vac with a filter
You keep your acetone in a tap magic bottle?
Awesome! Very much appreciated. Although I don't think you could fit that part in a toaster oven. Maybe if you stood the toaster oven on it's side.. not sure if that's ok though.
First of all bad ass work and love the edits . What are you using for camera? Thanks Ed
Eddie510s thank you! Sony AR72, appreciate the kind words!
Nice Video... Make more please.. Just one last thing... Wish you would sort the sound out..
What water separator are you using? :)
Hey can you help in how to make powder coating powder products.
New subscriber 👍 very informative channel. What is the name of the intro song ?
4:44 - Don't use your kitchen oven!
13:08 - Uses kitchen oven.
LMAO! For real though, great video, great production and excellent explanation. Thanks man!
Lol don’t use the one in your kitchen that is! 😬🤣
@@hourglassingenuity103 You have a shop oven?? That's some dedication man!
Good video bro
00:36 epic... Aceton cleaning, but touching the surface with bare hand:D but, brilliant video. Thx very much
Links for regulator and filter?
Nice b-roll!
Hey hows it going Brad, great video there, I need some advice, I blasted and powdercoated this weekend and the result was not good enough so now I must strip it down and do it all over so what grit should I use, is for a motorcycle rear fender and also what do I do about the lint or the remains after wyping the part with the Pre or acetone.
Thanks in advance
HourGlassFab Thanks alot man I appreciate it very helpful.
How well does your respirator work with the beard I cant get mine to form a seal??
They don't work with a beard. By OSHA requirements you have to shave your face to get a true seal... otherwise, your filter is only good as your beard is filtering.
This kind of content but you have 9.7k subscribers? Amazing content i tought you had atleast 500k before i checked your subs count! You have one more like and subscriber
TasteleSS out of all the negativity I’ve had comments like these made up for it! Thank you so much.
HourGlassFab Those b roll shots are amazing and great tips and information was clear and simple! Maybe next time balance the audio, music and the sound effects! Anyways dont care about the negativity, im sure you will blow up if you work hard! Greetings and much love from Finland ❤️
Great info. Forget the music though. I wear headphones. The music comes through much to loud
Thank you for letting me know, My apologies.
Very nice presentation. One question. You mention 15-20 psi to the gun. Another You tuber used the Eastwood gun and said to use only 7-8 pounds with the canister half full. Anymore pressure and you can pop the canister off. Can you clarify?
Dancing Bear that’s definitely false information.. the gun is regulated, I’ve ran 30-40 psi through it when I didn’t know what I was doing and I never had those problems.. the hopper doesn’t hold pressure. It would automatically vent. Just adjust pressure until you get a nice fine mist out of the nozzle.. there is a ton of room for error. You’ll know when it’s laying on nice and not too aggressive.
Thanks! Also, I have a pancake compressor. I’m assuming that would work for the gun?
Dancing Bear it will work perfectly!
👍
So is the filter good enough or should a air dryer be inline ? Also wouldn't using copper be better to hang off of ? oh and DA means what ? Thanks. Really informative video..
freebird1963 A da is a dual action sander. No, anything conductive works fine to hang from. Yes, use an inline air dryer also.
FWIW, if you need to REMOVE powdercoat, I found out the hard way if you get carb cleaner on it, it just dissolves!!
sean wolfe that’s interesting. I have introduced cured powder coat to multiple aggressive solvents and never once did it just dissolve. 🤔
HourGlassFab yeah...I have about a grand in powder coating alone on my current build in professional P.C. Wasn’t happy...I’d be interested if you have old junk you can try it on...FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES! 😀
Wow thats amazing that it will dissolve it
It probably wasn't cured properly.
@@rashadsmith3435 he is full of it because i have never had that happen.
One thing that helps me with my powder issues is AA..
What do you mean by "DA" when you are prepping the part? i.e., "You can sand it or DA it."
wvmontani when I say DA I refer to “Dual action”. Referring to a dual action sander that basically has linear movement and some rotational movement.. it just gives a universal blended finish that makes it easy to powder on.
Thanks!
In the U.K. we would call that a “Random Orbital Sander” just for others info 👍🏻
Yeah, that's a random orbital sander. I thought DA was denatured alcohol... hmmm
Yep, when cleaning parts for powder coating DA (denatured alcohol) is the preferred method and referred to often. DA leaves absolutely no residue like acetone will.
Badass video... Just work on the sound levels between your voice and music.
arent you supposed to pre bake first to bake out any oils etc in the metal?
jwolff9153 nope.
jwolff9153 I’ve done a lot of powder coating and I’ve never needed to preheat parr’s unless the faraday effect came into play on a tight inside radius of filler.
@@hourglassingenuity103 sweet. I've been looking into this because i have some old bbs wheels i want to do. I also have an old electric oven for it
cool video thanks new sub from Bob Moffat -jim
u need to do your audio levels love your vids but the music is like twenty steps abov
e the rest
Haha i was just googling how to powder coats a few days ago. Get out of my head lol
black heart fab ha ha ha 👻
First off Awesome video on what your showing thank you for the tips. On another note Could you for the love of god when you edit your videos turn DOWN music to match level you your voice. So many youtubers miss that. Play your video your voice is at least 50% lower can't hear you to well after turning down the crazy sounds.
Cerakote rules, powder coat drools
This would be awesome to watch if you balanced the volume on the speech and music. I turn down when the music is on, because it is way too loud, and when u start to speak, I can't hear you.... :).
I see it's already said. Sorry.
Yeah it’s been said about 60 times. Thanks.
@@hourglassingenuity103 Dude, I meant no disrespect. I think your video had great content. It's just that it was a bit difficult to watch when I try to listen to what you say, and when the music comes on, mrs hoth yells at me to be quiet so she can hear what they're saying in a soap she's watching. :P :P
Well done tutorial. Could have done without the music nearly blew an eardrum
You could wear gloves to keep the oil from your hands off the part
A hot glue gun will help you a lot too
I deal with a lot of exotic alloys daily and I can assure you I’m not transferring oil to the part from my hands. 👍🏻
typical youtube fail with the music being way louder then the commentary
Great production on the vid, and actually dug the audio track. If the volume was too high, not by much. Bottom line: Make 'em how you like 'em, someone will hate on it no matter what you do. Perfect amount of detail and pace, thx.
Hey thanks so much for the comment. That made my day. I really appreciate the positive vibes. Have a wonderful new year!
You might want to turn down that blasting hideous noise.
there was no DIY cheap or easy to it. it was just a standard tutorial
umm... all of this is mandatory. or maybe you can try the ghetto version, just throw the powder on it with your hands, and put it above a fire. I mean, it will stick to it...
Music is way to loud
Soooooo 1/4 is bigger than 1/5. So you mean it needs to be a fifth to a quarter full. Not a quarter to a fifth.
Christina Giddens mind blown that you wasted your time stating that. Thanks.
If you concentrate in teaching not in the music this video it’s ok
Only talks
Your intro is way too long.
Dumb. The music and "special effects" were an annoying distraction. If I want music I';ll watch a music video. If I want clear concise technical information then that's all I want from an instructional video. Useless.
Horrible video
