My personal experience...Kevin coated an air cleaner for me. The base was in good shape, but the top was very pitted. He coated and baked it 3 times and was still unhappy (not to mention stripping all 3 coats). He ordered the filler, applied and sanded 2 coats then reapplied a coat of semi gloss. In the end he refused to take extra $$ for the work. He will do any coating I need done.

Re: I'm legit now, and I want your powdercoating business
Kevin, what would you charge for a set of spindles?
And what is your opinion on springs? Will the powdercoat hold up with the constant motion that are put through?

Re: I'm legit now, and I want your powdercoating business
Any chance you might get into header coatings ? Got a set I built that I would like to coat some day.

Here is a spindle that I did in a flat metallic vein powder. I can do glossy too of course, I just wanted something not too flashy. Notice I threaded bolts into all threaded holes to protect the threads. Also, the machined areas where the caliper ride were masked off too, as well as the spud itself. No powder gets where it doesn't belong. I feel like coil springs will withstand usage and movement very well. Years ago, I bought some Ground Force springs which were bright blue P/C out of the box and they still look great to this day.

Re: I'm legit now, and I want your powdercoating business
The only suggestion I might have is to change your avatar now that you are a vendor. Every time I see that I can hear the voice through the wall I will keep you in mind for when the need arises.

Re: I'm legit now, and I want your powdercoating business
I know you get asked this quite a bit, but how far outside DFW are you? I've got a buddy bucket frame that needs to be blasted and coated.

Re: I'm legit now, and I want your powdercoating business
I'm 25 miles west of Loop 820 in a town called Springtown.
As far as the buddy bucket frame and the grille loops, my oven is only 32 inches deep. I'm not sure they will fit. Bigger oven is under construction though.

Re: I'm legit now, and I want your powdercoating business
I am coming back to Springtown, two weeks from this comng Sunday to visit some friends.
I would like to drop off the tailgate we talked about for the welding, my disk brake calipers, and maybe some engine brackets. I am so glad you have found some thing to make some extra money and i would trust no one as much as I would you because I know you are honest and your attention to detail is first rate. Thanks, michael

Re: I'm legit now, and I want your powdercoating business
Kevin, congratulations on your new status. Your stuff looks really great.
I'm in Weatherford, and would love to get some stuff done. In fact, I may have a lot before it's over. I will try to come to you with several things at once. I will PM you when I am ready. Thanks, Michael Oh, yeah. Can you do a power brake booster? Or will the heat hurt the diaphram? If so, I may be ready now. Let me know. Now I know why you bought all those accelerators.

Re: I'm legit now, and I want your powdercoating business
Sorry to bombard you with questions, but can you do a textured black finish similar to how a factory black plastic bezel looks? I realize it wouldn't be exactly the same, but hopefully from 10 feet away people wouldn't be able to tell a difference. I have an idea that I am working on down the road.

Re: I'm legit now, and I want your powdercoating business
What if you were to try with a UV heat lamp? My dad was saying, in absence of a large enough oven, or when heat was bad (like forged alloy wheels) that using a UV lamp was a substitute for an oven.
Though, PC wouldn't stick to the plastic with out that plastichrome finish, eh? Last edited by texanidiot25; 02-16-2009 at 08:50 PM. |
