So now that ive seen this video does it mean i dont need to take the 1700 dollar class

I’m not a fishing guy....but I love custom stuff.....that’s so amazing. Damn what a time to be alive, that’s sick!

I need like a ten hour complication of the process being done to dozens of different firearms. That would make for the absolute best background video for any gun club lobby.

Seems like a gorgeous product.

may be too late 67beaumont67, but metal substrates should see 250F.. 160-180 may not be enough temp to kick the catalyst. If you already did it at the lower temp, you will probably not see a difference. However in the long term, durability may not be as good. Another point I would change from the video, is using a high pressure air gun to blow all of the blasting media from the pieces after blasting, then clean the parts again. the video suggests blowing with the HVLP gun at much lower air pressure,just prior to applying the coating. Also when cleaning the gun, I suggest flushing twice with MEK,,and use it to wipe all of the surfaces clean. Then remove the fluid tip and soak it inside the cup with clean MEK, put the top on and leave it. I am not a fan of solvent cleaning,because of the disposal costs as well as the evaporation rates My process uses a 7 stage zinc phosphate pretreatment, which can replace all blasting of steel parts. The final stage is a hot rinse/sealer,, which stops all oxidation. Aluminum is cleaned,then blasted,as are plastic substrates.

Sorry if I missed it in the video, but what kind of respirator would be appropriate for the degreasing and spraying portions of this process?

What kind of paint shaker was used in the clip?

Can someone soak in 99% isopropyl alcohol?

I tried to call. I have a question about sequence. If gas out indicates oil and then it is cleaned again, why the additional step of blasting again? What makes the initial blasting no longer acceptable for surface preparation?

I purchased a raw (already blasted) F1 Firearms build set. They said it was "cerakote ready". I assume I can just soak in acetone for the recommended time then gas out (as long as no oils are present) cool down then spray. Right on? Instead of soak*blast*gas out*spray

Correct, if it's a blasted, raw metal part then you just need to degrease and gas out prior to spraying.

Using Cerakote H, I followed prep instructions to the T. While spraying with my series 80 Iwata my coating didn't look wet. I was 3-5 in away with 2-3 in fan with pressure at 22psi at gun handle. So I went back over the first coat within one to two minutes and then stuck it in the oven at 300 F. I went to the store for a couple of hours and came back and the coating had blistered. Did I leave it in the oven too long? Did I spray it wrong? BTW - This was my first time at using Cerakote. :)

An old model builder's trick (Hollywood, special effects pro) is to put a few bbs in a bottle of paint. It works great. I started dropping bbs in all my OLD lacquered based paints, and they are still holding up, 20-25 years later. Another cheap trick is to tape the jar to the blade of a Sawzall reciprocating saw and using the saw to shake the paint. WATCH THE TAPE, as the saw loves to cut through the tape. If it starts cutting the tape, add more tape, and keep shaking.
