Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
Man, that is going to set it off. You said you were shooting video? I look forward to that. I know how well it laid with my ghetto $400 powder gun, can't wait to see it shot proper like.

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.

The nice thing about powder is it isn't done until its baked. So you can shoot a frame, see build up in a corner or a weld, just blow on it slightly until the area is uniform, or reshoot to add areas that look light, then bake. With good product (Tiger makes nice stuff) and good equipment, you can lay powder that looks as good or better than wet paint. But if you drop a wrench on it, you won't cry. ![]() With the equipment Greg has, I can't wait to see the level of detail that frame shows when finished. Best of all it will be wet and wipe!

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
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.

I think that RAL-7042 will look awesome on that frame ![]() A low gloss on a frame is the way to go IMO.......

Greg, not to hijack your thread, but would you mind sharing the process you'll use for shooting the frame?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
Ral 7042 from Tiger is a hi gloss 90 % gloss . Here is how we will coat the frame. We will wash it in our stainless steel 3 stage washer with Fremont 621 phosphate wash. We will seal it with Fremont 439 sealer/ rust protectant. We will then apply Cardinal Gr-533 epoxy primer ... may have to hot flock it too get it in the speed holes... jell the primer.. then topcoat it possibly 2 coats depending how it works in the speed holes. Hot flocking works well.
![]() Final bake 392 degrees for 10 minutes peek metal temp. Watch it when you coat parts hot... hotflocking.... you can really get a high mil. coverage.... which leads to orange peel issues with some lower flow powders.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
^^^That's great info, and again, I'm just blown away at the steps that the pros use to apply powder.
I'll lock that into my memory banks, and the next time I go to the local shop, I'll ask them if they wash, seal, and prime before they shoot the powder. Also, if they use the heating/cooling process when they're laying down coats. Most of the stuff I see has excessive mil thickness in the joints, heavy particulates in the powder, and orange peel.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
We carefully hoisted the C-10 frame onto the trolley system in our shop...it went into the stainless steel washer and washed with Fremont 621 phosphate wash, and rinsed. From this point the frame went into the curing oven to dry and get ready for the next step in the process. The Fremont 439 sealer can be applied hot or cold. This product works very well to also stop flash rusting.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
The frame came out of the oven hot, and we then sealed it with Fremont 439 sealer/ rust protectant. The frame will follow the path of the trolley system into the paint booth for a thorough coat of primer GR-533. I am the dude sitting in the shop stool, supervising !!!!!

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
All necessary holes are plugged in the frame and start the hot flocking process into the speed holes. Soon the entire frame is coated with primer GR-533 and will move to the curing oven. Dain Schultz and Daryl Bouwman rocked the primer basecoat.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
This is the curing oven...these next photos show the hot flocking and this worked very well to coat the space between...and finally the frame complete, smoothly and perfectly primed!!!

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
That frame is looking very nice. You obviously have a first class powder coating shop. I'm anxiously awaiting to see some color on this frame.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
What does the term "hot flocking" mean?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
I never had much luck hot flocking with my home setup. The powder didn't seem to melt fully and left a lot more texture than I was going for. Can't wait to see how that Tiger powder lays with that high speed gun you have.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
If it orange peeled ? you need to turn the gun down... added too much material. Did you do a powder mil. reading?
