Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck

[Captainfab]

The powder coater I use 2 coats about 95% of the parts, but they do it a little differently. They preheat the parts, pull them out and shoot a medium coat. Let the parts cool some, then another medium coat, and then bake them for about 40 minutes or so depending on the parts. Their powder always holds up very well.

Air cool, reshoot over room temp parts (hot powder will cause the second coat to be rough) then bake for about 20. The bottom layer will fuse with the top and the top will cure.

2 layers will not be heavy in the welds. I like to make sure my coats are even and details are visible. I don't like gloss frames, either.

I think that RAL-7042 will look awesome on that frame

A low gloss on a frame is the way to go IMO.......
