Re: Powder results
 

I haven't gotten that good yet. Maybe in a year or so I could do some stuff like that. But right now, as fancy as I can get would be letters one color, and the rest a 2nd color, kinda like what I did in this last one.

But next I'm going to start playing with Candy colors, those seem to look pretty sweet.

You got some mirror black for a player?

Re: Powder results
 

Do I ever! Black just happens to be how we roll over here. I got Gloss Black, Mirror Black, Wrinkle Black, and soon we're ordering up some Flat Black.

Austin said we're going to be coating all of Colin's (off hmt) charge piping for him in flat black. So I'm sure we'll have some extra flat black after all that.

Re: Powder results
 

How's this coming along? I've been considering getting the rims on my bike pc'd this winter. how much would you charge to do them some kind of blue?

Re: Powder results
 

Looks like you are getting the hang of powdercoating. I'll have to check it out if I see you around.

Re: Powder results
 

Well I'd have to know how big the rims are. Because if they don't fit in the oven, well then I can't do them.

Re: Powder results
 

I though of something I wanted to get powdercoated....but then I forgot what it was!!!

Re: Powder results
 

the front rim is 17x3.5 I think. The rear rim is 17x5.5 I can double check if need be.

Re: Powder results
 

That's too big, I can't fit anything that big into my current oven. Maybe someday when we're done building our future oven.

Re: Powder results
 

All I know is if you get any of that fucking powder on my car, there is gonna be some drive-bys happening up in blaine ;)

Looks really good man, I just may have to have you do some stuff for me as soon as I get some money, b/c you already have all of my parts in your garage.

Re: Powder results
 

I have the tarp on the front of your car. Even though you said you didn't mind, I'm still trying to keep as much off it as I can!

Re: Powder results
 

Once i take it for a spin all the powder will be off of it. Also i saw a MX6 with two rear conquest wheels. IT was retarded as hell, but the guy was mex so whatever.

Re: Powder results
 

I almost took it for a "spin" taking it up to brandons house.

2nd gear torque + rain = dorifto

Well I had to take off my wrinkle black cover because it had a crack in it and oil was leaking out of it. I'm going to try and repair it with this aluminum filler stuff I have.

But since it came off, I had a Hyundai cover laying around that I'm going to be throwing on the car. I've been trying to figure out how to make a color to match the Black Cherry color of my car. My idea was to use a transparent/candy red, but with a Gloss Black base coat instead of the typical white/silver/chrome base you'd typically use with a transparent/candy color. Here's the results. It looked like absolute crap before I coated it. I was actually a little worried on how it would turn out because of the poor condition the surface was in and I couldn't get a lot of crap off the surface because it was just caked on it, even after a couple hours of prepping it. But I think it turned out just awesome. If you're just looking at it dead on, it looks pretty much like a gloss black (like you'll notice in the 3rd pic), but once it gets some light on it, then you see the maroon look (like in pics 4+). I think I'll be doing all my piping this color as well. I'm real happy as this was my first attempt at using a transparent powder. Let me know what you all think!


First 2 pictures are just of the gloss black base coat. Then from pic 3 and on is with the transparent applied. In pic 3 you can see how it basically looks like gloss black. But then when I turned the flash on in pic 4, you can see the maroon reflect.

One of these days I'm going to be getting an HVLP gun so I can start ceramic coating as well!

Re: Powder results
 

Looking good! You should have ground off the hyundai though! Are you going to polish the letters?

Re: Powder results
 

Nah I'm going to leave it just as it is. I think they HYUNDAI on it is kinda funny personally! I to find a fitting to go in the pass side of the cover where there typically is a fitting for blow-by to exit!

Re: Powder results
 

You don't even have a Hyundai block in yours playa.

Re: Powder results
 

The block I bought, that got rebuilt and is in my car now, came with this cover, so psshhhh.... bitch please!

BTW, I was out by your shop today, and stopped by, but no one was home???

Re: Powder results
 

Yeehaw, couple more pics.
