(Eastwood hot coat) <br /> AND then I spray a top coat of Red ( Candy Red from "The Powder Store" which is to be cured @400f for 10 mins. <br /> Would I pull the part after 12 mins for the base coat? Cause reading temps on the silver is hard to do. I have a Fluke temp gun. My thought is to put another peace in the oven with color and check it for temp and use this as my temp standard for the other OR just use the TIMED approach. Then let cool down and spray the Red and do a full cure? This means the the base Silver is short on cure time. NOTE: the parts that I am spraying are aluminum. (Gas Tank for a M/C) <br />I am also doing a Nitro bottle too. But it is a lot thicker. So I know its going to take a lot longer to heat up. But it should be the same process too. <br />Thanks, <br />PhilAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06256316172265271975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576346347573188227.post-27025816271975702972018-04-26T04:43:06.251-07:002018-04-26T04:43:06.251-07:00This process won't look exactly like that, but...This process won't look exactly like that, but it will be in the same ballpark. If you are starting with a shiny metal substrate, the effect will be better. If not, you will want to do a chrome/silver base coat and cure. Then you will shoot your matte black. Before curing the matte black, you can use a paintbrush to put streaks in the matte black powder. Getting consistently straight strokes will be the most difficult part. But with enough trial and error, you should be able to pull it off.

Lets say i want a red logo on a white background. I would use red last since the red would probably bleed through the white if applied first. So i lay down white then use female stencil for the red logo. Problem i am running into is the outer border of the stencil seems to 'melt' into the white so i end up having a red logo but the white has a box looking indention from where the stencil was left on during a partial cure. I hope that makes sense? Any suggestions?

As a newbie to powder coating there is a ton of great information.<br /> I am looking to place a logo on a set of brake calipers that I will be powder coating I was hoping for some opinions. My plan is to base powder coat the calipers (red), place the logo, then clear over. (Noting that the logo is no more than letters and 3 'slash' marks, however it will be MULTI-color (Silver, Gold, Red, White and Blue)<br /> I know my options are either a (high temp)decal/sticker OR using a stencil.<br /> I prefer and am considering using a stencil to spray the logo (with high heat PAINT) over the base (red) powder, then clear powder over that.<br /> Do you see any issues doing it in this manner and/or would I simply be better going with a decal?<br /> I'm new to this, so any and all thoughts/suggestions are welcome.<br /> <br /> Thanks in advance,<br /> <br /> KevinKevinKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576346347573188227.post-5803785326360561062017-01-10T12:19:17.975-08:002017-01-10T12:19:17.975-08:00hi,i have 2 questions

So, after baking, I was disappointed that no purple was showing!<br /><br />I figure I messed up the shooting, so took it back to the sand blaster and to my surprise, every swipe with the gun resulted in a streak of purple! <br /><br />I took this further. Without putting the clear cost on, I etched a design with a CNC laser cutter. Behold, the design was in purple!

Pulling the part at 200 degrees F and pulling the masking off when the part cools down to around 180 degrees F will leave a nice defined line between the masked and unmasked areas. You then have the option of doing another partial cure and clearing the whole project or just completing a full cure. If you have never done this before, it helps to get some practice on some scrap metal before doing this on a real project. And yes, you need to clean out the gun between every color change. <br /><br />Thanks for reading.

Then put it back in the oven until the project reaches 200 degrees then pull the sticker off and continue a full cure? Also is it necessary to clean the gun between coats if using different colors?
