I want to expand on that last answer a little. Many people say that you must coat the part while hot. WRONG!! You CAN coat it hot, but MUST.....I beg to differ. When you powder coat a part hot, you are simply liquid painting at that point. The powder can run and sag and build very heavily. The powder will melt to the part as it hits it. If you do this with a candy color, no matter how good you think you are, you will end up with shaded areas on the part. The thickness will be all over the place and the finish will have darker areas in it. With a good gun and an understanding as to how powder actually charges and works, any piece can be coated cold, even a re-coat or a top coat. It takes a little more patience and some knowledge, but the final product will look much better. Hope everyone has a great weekend! |
