Yes exactly. Finger wiping on the plates, the valve covers and the vise from those pics.

Re: Powder Coating - A Home How to
Thanks! This is the plate I am thinking of restoring before I put it on the truck...certainly is in good shape, but would look really good restored.

Re: Powder Coating - A Home How to
For sure it would. Plates are VERY time consuming, I would guess 20-30 minutes just in finger wiping for your one plate. Plus you'll need to plan on how you're going to hang and hold the plate while you do the wiping so it doesn't move around on you.

Re: Powder Coating - A Home How to
Some great work everyone has done. I do powder coating for a living and just want to add a helpful tip. Just heating your oven to 400 and then putting a part in it for 20mins will not necessarily be the proper cure time/temp of your substrate. Use a infrared temp gun to check the pmt (part metal temp). Each piece will cure at different times. The spindles one guy did will not cure as fast as the license plate another did for example. So you wouldnt leave them in the oven for the same amount of time. The more the density of the metal the longer it needs to be in the oven. I dont mean to disrespect anyone and hope its not taking that way. I just want to help if I can. Keep up the great work.
