Powder results

**Halon** · 07-06-2006

Just thought I'd share a couple pictures of some powder coating I did earlier. What do you guys think?

First 2 are my upper IC pipe in Smoke Chrome

Last is a wrench I had laying around in Wrinkle Black.

PS - Yes, I know that bov flange weld is the bomb diggity!!

You did this on your own? What type of equipment do you have?

**Halon** · 07-06-2006

Yup I did this myself. I did it with my homemade setup a friend and I have been working on that is absolutely TOP SECRET because it's that good

Not bad, though the colors don't show off the medium very well. I've been thinking about a DIY powder coating seyup. I'd love to get any insight you have to share about what works, what doesn't, etc...

TOP SECRET eh? I have been pondering the Craftsman kit but am a little reluctant on what the results would be like. Looks nice though.

Way to go mang!! well worth the effort you put in setting it up. I will take an intake, I/C pipes, and valve cover for now.

Tell us dammit! I can think of a few things I would like to powder coat, car parts and other wise.

Go to Hell. The bigger the glob, the better the job. That shit doesn't leak at 30 psi, so fuck if I care how it looks!

**Halon** · 07-07-2006

Sorry that was inappropriate. I'm drunk. I agree those welds are not asthetically pleasing, but they hold. My other welds are a bit better, Those turned out bad cuz they were difficult because it was hard to get in there. Either way, go to my other thread to discuss my welds, this one is about my coating job, and I'm proud!

Here were some of my other welds that I think turned out better. The BOV flange ones were difficult for me. But were done over a year ago, and are still holding strong on a 30psi pressure test.

werd son, u shoulda called me i was drinking too and we are right down the why from each other. Anyway i like the coating job. C ya at austin's tomorrow.

Yea that will come in handy anytime I need something PCed

Looks good!

**Halon** · 07-08-2006

Aaron, why didn't you guys show up? Me and Derek were over there until Midnight doing that clutch, and your bro is the one who is supposed to be good at it??

Oh, and a couple pics of more of my piping I just did.

**Halon** · 07-11-2006

First successful valve cover in Gloss Black! This shit's fun. OK I'm done posting pics now.

tim · 07-11-2006

Damn, that valve cover looks really good. Might have to twist your arm a little and have you do mine sometime.

**Halon** · 07-11-2006

Thanks!

beachbum_jon · 07-11-2006

so whats your secret for this..i would like to try some of my own

**Halon** · 07-11-2006

There is no secret. Just do the research like me and my buddy did. We just slowly researched, and slowly aquired parts here and there for about 4 months. Call me an ass, but I'm just not willing to go and tell you everything. I think you should research, as we did.

But I love how the powder hides my shitty welds though.
