You are correct doing the back first. The reason is picture framing. If you do front firth them back you will get picture framing 98% of the time if you look at it closely and of course some colors you will notice more then others. Green Mountain Media Blasting & Powder Coating

One thing I do when I'm whiping wheels like this is hang it with a adjustable tie down around the wheel after I spray the second coat on so I can spin the wheel while its hanging that way the powder always falls away from the wheel when wiping it off and I can get a straight line

Hopefully this makes sense so here it is. I had someone who wanted chrome wheels done and I’ve never done chrome before. I know if chrome is good you can etch and powder over. Well if chrome has good and bad spots I asked both you and 710 and was told stay away from chrome or charge more because it’s a pain to try getting off. Well I’ve been watching lots of videos and is there a way like a magnet or something so I know if it’s chrome I’m looking at or polished aluminum or something else polished? Is there some kind of test I can do? I’m afraid of taking on a chrome job thinking it’s polished aluminum or vis versa? Any advice?

thanks for the videos, they're very helpful, keep up the good work! What to you do with the plastic center caps that are on rims? paint color to match?

Hey bud been watching your vids for a while now and learned a bit from you, I'm doing a set of 2 tone wheels for my personal project my question is how long do you bake to get the partial cure? The prismatic powder I am using is ink black application sheet say full cure 400° for 10min thank you in advance.

@UnknownCoatings

partial cure is flow out plus a few minutes.

I'm just starting to powder coat and just ran across your channel. Definitely gonna watch your videos and try and learn as much as I can while I practice. Did you make the clips holding the rims or did you buy them somewhere? Thanks for the videos and those rims look awesome great job!

Hi like your vid's :) One thing I'd like to ask is: my tyre guy says that if you coat the face that's on the inside of the tyre it then can flake off over time with tyre on. With the high speed rotation of the wheel on the road causes the flakes to wedge themselves under the tyre lip between the tyre and the wheel and cause slow air leaks. I notice you seem to coat this part of the wheel every time do you have a reason for that? Hobbyist powder coater mainly for brake calipers for Toyota MR2 /MR-S (US) - I about to give my own wheels ago for the first time :) Many Blessings, Simon, The Padre

with proper prep, the powder doesnt come off. if it does jsut from tires rubbing, its a bad powder coat job.

What's the curing time for the partial cure and do you let it cool down when you put that other color on?

Awsome channel dude 👊 We have a gema gun that looks just like yours but ours has controls on the gun!! Just wondering if you could give us some advice What psi is going to your gun?? We have around 40 psi as anything less doesn't allow powder out What settings do you use on: 1. Flat colours like mirror black 2. Metallics like sparkle silver 3. Do you use acrylic laquer or polyester, if so what settings do you use?? Thanks

@UnknownCoatings

3 жыл бұрын

running in is about 40 but I run less in the unit itself. I follow the powder manufacturers recommendation. They usually have a suggested KV at least I use acrylic clear, and polyester, depends on the job!

Have you tried a low tack painters tape on the wheel after the first coat to get a clean line on the second coat before wiping? If you have are there any reasons to not do it?

lots of variables, but typically 50 degrees above powder curing temp for an hour

So I'm seeing a lot of shops charge typically $100 per wheel but how much do you charge to repair like road rash?

If it doesnt need welded I dont charge more than 10 a wheel to sand it out and then of course the cost of powder coating

From my experience you should coat gloss finishes somewhat thicker,around 90 microns,your looks like at around 60. Trust me,do a test and coat 2 seperate things on the way you do now,and coat it at around 30-40% thicker and see the difference. Let me know what do you think. In my opinion it just looks so much better.
