QUOTE(ChrisPaegelow @ Feb 11 2007, 04:18 PM)  so there's no need for POR-15 when powder coating in other words? Yes...errr no....I mean yes there's no need. I could go on an anti- POR rant but I'll try and refrain myself. I'll just say it has it's place and that is NOT on a p roper restoration. |

So the procedure goes something like this:
1. Sand blast the part to remove all the rust/paint 2. Use Ospho or whatever to clean/etch the metal 3. Then do the powder coating So you can't powder coat over paint, is that right? |

Ospho is optional. I powdercoat as part of my job and have to stand behind my werk and have NEVER used ospho on anything. I simply sandblast, clean off sandblast residue and coat.
NO DO NOT POWDER COAT OVER PAINT !!! There are exceptions but leave that up to the pro's. |

Ok sounds good to me!
I might try to do it myself, otherwise I'll just have some place do it. I'm pretty new to working on cars and stuff like that, but thanks for all the tips ! It's crazy how much there is to know about one simple proccess! |

In all honesty it will be cheaper for you to pay someone else to do it unless you already have one of the DIY kits and an old oven. But if you have other stuff you want to do in the future it may be werth the investment.Be sure to do it in a pretty clean, and calm area, if any dust lands on the parts before or after it has been coated it will get baked into the powder and leave a textured finish.Just like dirt in a paint job Good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Can you bake it in your regular oven? Or would it be bad for the oven?
My dad and I were thinking of getting a DIY kit, he's restoring a '66 Mini Cooper and he's got a bunch of parts to do too. |

NO!!, you need to get an oven for the garge not to be cooked in. When the part is initially put in the oven the powder may float off of the part (small amounts that make no diff in the finished piece) from the fan inside the oven and settle inside the oven. Bad idea to bake in it after that. Used ovens can be found pretty cheap, and also come in handy for other automotive jobs, heating heads, removing/installing bearings etc.

I may have mis-understood your question. A regular oven will do just not the one you actually cook in !

Haha, ok, that's what I was thinking.
My mom wouldn't appreciate that if I did it at the rents' house, and the oven in my apartment is too tiny! So I should probably just go get it done somewhere, cause I want to do it soon. I want everything to be ready to go by the time it gets warm! |
