How To: Powdercoat and everything you wanted to know about it...Powdercoating is an environmentally safe method of applying paint in a powder form. Powder Coating provides a non-porous, durable, brillant finish that is extremely resistent to fading, peeling, chipping, rusting, and corrosion. It is available in a rainbow of shades including: Candies, Pearls, Clears, Flourescents and Chromes. Also available are Textures, Wrinkles, and Translucents.


1. Start with a bare metal part able to withstand 400�F. �Remove any heat sensitive components such as gaskets, rubber bushings, etc. �Part preparation is similar to that of conventional coatings: �Remove all coatings, rust, dirt and grease from part abrasive & blasting and/or chemical stripping is commonly used �Degrease thoroughly until dry. �Mask part where needed using specialty high temperature plugs, masking tape or aluminum foil.




2. �Just fill the gun cup 1/3 full - plug into electric and air service, ground part, turn the spray booth on, and start spraying. You'll be finished in minutes! �Typically only one coat is necessary. �The HotCoat Pro Model 1100 applies most types of powders consistently, and quicker with average film builds of 2-3 mils. Powder clear coat is spray-applied electrostatically to grounded car bodies, powder particles remain in an excited state within the electrical field, contributing to a consistent coating thickness free of drips, runs or sags that can occur with liquids, so rejection rates for finish quality are low. �Minimal operator training required for professional results. �Environmentally Friendly - no solvents or hazardous material disposal problems. �Easy clean up - overspray can be swept up, application gun is cleaned using compressed air. �Minimal safety issues.








3. Most parts cure in as quickly as 15-20 minutes at 300�-400�F. �Part is ready to be placed in service as soon as it has been cooled. �Minimal VOC's during cure process.
