Glad someone addressed this , the facebook group pros and youtube pros think that wiping down is good 🤦‍♂

We build custom bumpers, flatbeds and headache racks and have always just sand blasted with 80 grit steel media and blew off dust with air. Then powder coat. Have done this way for past 7yrs with great results

On some re coat stuff I've done. I found that everything I wiped would leave streaks where the cloth rubbed. So I saturated the whole job on prep wash , dried it in the oven and problem solved. All I do is switchboards though. Love your channel, learned heaps. Would love to take a working holiday over to USA and hone my skills.

Hey there, great video you gave me a lot of good ideas. I just recently was given an old smoker probably big enough to fit a Harley peanut tank and smaller to medium size fenders, lower forks, triple tree and what not. I’ll be modifying it to have an electric oven style burner in it that has a regular wall plug seeing as I don’t have electricity in my garage ( having to use extension cords till I can figure out a more practical way, I rent so can’t go adding full electric panels and all that to the garage). I’ve never done powder coating but absolutely love the concept of it. Gunna be coating my own motorcycle parts and whatever my lady wants probably tumblers and what not. I’m not trying to go making a bunch of money maybe one day if I get good enough to put out actual quality product. Don’t want to put my name out there on products till I know it’ll be top quality so people are happy and won’t have issues down the line. Just subscribed to your channel and will be trying to do as you all do, I like how professional you are about it. I honestly was thinking all I had to do to prep was degrease and get squeaky clean but you showed a lot more to it and I really like the process you do. I’m very multicultural about things and making sure whatever I’m doing is done properly. This medium size smoker was mainly the idea to have the housing that’s already made to hold up to high heat. One day I’d like an oven for powder coating big enough to do motorcycle, quad and bicycle frames. Thank you for you video and putting the helpful advice out there for people like me just starting out even as just a hobby to clear the mind.

Great video Dan nice to see you doing videos again. Keep up the good work

Another excellent video. Even garage hacks can pick up useful info in this video. Thanks!

Appreciate the info Dan

Your videos are excellent!! Great content. What do you think about using ospho before powder coating?

thank you very much for doing that. awesome

I congratulate you for the installations and awesome work. I'm starting tomorrow to test degreaser and phosphate in one step. What is your opinion?

So what is the degassing process. Just heating the part for a few. And when you do aluminum are these chemicals safe for say wheels that are half powder and half polished

Simple green recommended as a degreaser , or what would you recommend

Thx! Much appreciated

Great info, thanks

My quality went up big time when I removed using acetone from my process!

What is the best way to powder a set of wrenches straight out the package for a birthday gift for my dad?

I have a charcoal grill/ Smoker as my product can I get away with not having to blast before powder coating and baking ?

I want to powder my hand rails but want yo prep them prior to taking them there to keep price down, i bought some rust/paint stripper pads that are removing the paint and most of the rust. Is there anything else or is that enough?

I clean and immerse the part in phosforic acid, the problem an oxide coat form , how i can prevent to form this coat as i cant powdercoat or pain an oxidized part, turn grey too fast

Hi boss I want you to know that I enjoy your channel and also I would like to know if you can give me some advice on the minimum requirements for air compressor for sand blasting, thanks.

Very helpful

The phos wash doesnt mess up your concrete? Its known for etching concrete bad.

Do you know if Homedepot or Lowe's has Iron phosphate?

That's 1 huge difference between collision repair painting b/c is the prep n wash vs our rags to wash down n blow off n tack, whereas I do both n I've actually found p/c to be so much faster and easier than say prepping a front end n bumper for b/c. I've never really used a rag while doin a P/C job vs a collision job. I've been doin collision for 41 yrs and P/C for 11 yrs. I actually done so many 18 wheeler air dams n bike frames it's crazy. It used to be B/C on a bike frame now it's a rather quick P/C job. The guys thought I was crazy for not using my rags n wash n tack final taks on a p/c job. I tried yrs n yrs ago to explain why, they still don't get it. I have used a final tack prior spraying powder before, just depends, but for the $ I'd do p/c all week long vs prepping and painting a front end in b/c. But I'm a collision painter at heart, love it die hard, but really enjoy p/c. Your so right about the preparation of different parts n no rags. Get it clean n dry n spray. Bake n done. Nice lil video man. Hopefully some will understand now prepping and rags. If new you can but any job collision or p/c you can have cross, but it won't hurt the part to wipe if clean. It's just an extra, unnecessary waste of time and money and possibly crossing contamination, same as a car or anything. Good luck in the future.

We do a quick wipe when we get our steel in so the welds stick better, is there anything else we can do (on the fabricator side) that’s quick and cheap to get it decently clean before welding?

Thanks brother for sharing your process

Very good advice. You could also try using a steamer...less mess.

Also, for rinse is best using water or deionized water? Or is the same result? Thank you so much. And keep your hard work!

A small side business like myself can't afford to prep like a high volume powder coat shop like yourself. I have been powder coating freshly built quarter midget chassis for 9 years now at one to 6 per month and every single one I wiped with a lint free paper towel and brake clean. I used to add a hot rinse of water but found it didn't help much it just gave a little flash rust which may have helped give the surface a little more Ra/Rz

My process has always been, sandblasting, apply conversion coating (hold tight), then outgassing, then cool down, then apply powder. Ive had very few problems. I never wipe, that's a sure way to get lint.

HIya Dan, whats goin on ..hey how about a video on prep process on a new powder coat on metal with a faraday mistaken overlooked and have to redo the powder coat........just askin for a friend LOL

Both questions aren't about this video. With a 2 tone job do you do a partial cure on primer, both top coats, and full cure on the clear coat. If not what would be the best process? Also, is there a way to do a clear coat for a gloss and matte on the same piece and both turn out as intended, or a partial coat for clear gloss, and partial clear matte like a 2 tone job?

Hi dan we are having problems with our coating. We not sure what could be causing this problem. I would like to say it looks like blisters but it foes not have a protrusion. It almost looks like water droplets that have been coated. We recoated the product but it has made it worse

Hi. When a part is getting repowder coated do you strip off the old powder coat or leave it on .

Anyone on here know anything about used Gema guns?… worth it? What to look for? And price ranges?

My question...... is it true....if you don't use it you loose it?

All I do is first put on clean rubber gloves than degrease the part, sand blast , wash off the sandblast dust with regular warm tap water, blow off , outgass. Cool off , spray powder and done. Lol that acetone crap ppl used to say to do is 100% a waste of time.

How much cfm air compressor do I need? I bought a 12 cfm dewalt air compressor. It's not enough for my #5 gnp gun in my 40" x 40" media blaster. Don't want to wait on air compressor ever again but I've invested everything into this business.

I would like to know where to get good powder. Do you know if Eastwood,s powders are good. Thanks

What are your thoghts on Laser cleaning machine?

You didn't explain what a phosphate rinse does for the process... Can you explain why ease

My question is a lot of powder coater's don't wear a respirator when powder coating isn't the powder harmful if breath in or Ingested?

Dan, the next video you have got to make is: "how to strip wheels as a hobbyist | all you need to know and how to get great results powder coating at home under a realistic budget." I was thinking of getting Klean Strip's new Aircraft Ultra "paint remover" "down to bare metal" gel gallon for about $100. I have palmsanders and wire brush bits, sanding is okay with me, but we all need your guidance on stripping wheels without being a business like yourself with such capabilities.

I would like to set up a consultation. My wife is really a pain in the ass and gets mad at me for bringing other women home. Please let me know if you can help Thank you

Why don't you do a video on what you call phosphate. Since you do not reference one of yours in this video I now have to go search for that elsewhere.

Geeze, can't your editor get volume levels stabilized? We have to turn up the volume to hear you, then your channel graphics comes up and blows out our speakers.
