B.A.M.F Powder Coating!!!!!!

Dig it.

 

Awesome stuff man, that black coal looks prime.

 

The pics don't do it justice it's an awesome coating it looks kinda like cast iron.

The it is i just ordered 30lbs of it so it's going to be here a wile

 

WOW, I'm diggin' it big time. Good work Jerry!

 

Yeah you and me both

 

It being a textured pc, is it more costly?

 

It is more on my end but not on yours

 

Do you have any idea on it's durability? Can't get over it. Looks great.

 

I know the company does salt spray testing on all its powders and all the powder are of the highest quality. The powder is from prismatic powders

 

I was thinking more the normal stuff, foot strikes and what not. Salt is pretty corrosive too so that bodes well.

Thanks!

 

They don't really list any testing like that but the coating is pretty well adhered to the part. I didn't put a single scratch on the sliders I installed and normally the jack stands scratch paint and bed liner off.

All the products are blasted with a 36grit media before the coating is applied. this give a very good base for the powder to adhere to.

The method were using is

Step 1. Pressure wash and a quick air dry

Step 2. Media blast (We use Kleen Blast Abrasives)

Step 3. Pre bake at 425* "part temp" for 30min to 1 hour to off gas the part and any other oils left behind after blasting.

Step 4. Shoot the powder and bake at 385* for 20min "part temp not oven"

 

I doubt it will come off easily.

When it comes time for sliders, that definitely will be the color.

Jerry, you can add POWDER COATED to that. Thanks!


Changed!

 

The names Jerry and yes I'll add it

 

So i did a little experiment today I've go some plywood panels going on the simulators the need to just be painted black. So I thought why not powder coat them

This is what i did

went to Home Depot and bought Kiln dried cabinet grade plywood cut to the sizes I needed and cut a test piece.

I off gassed the test piece to make sure there was no moisture in the wood (it was bone dry )

Pulled from the oven


Very little warpage


Shot with mat black I noticed the air was blowing the powder away so i turned down the dosage air and cranked up my feed out to my fluidisation chamber. it works better but I have a new nozzle in the mail that has been proven to coat wood



Then I baked it at 375* for 25min just to make sure the powder fully cures and here is the results once I get the new nozzle and I'm able to get even coverage powder coating wood will be a breeze.


These are just going behind panels so they just need to be coated black and painting them would stink and be way more expensive.

 

What a cool idea. How did you get the charge across the wood tho?

 

i didn't i just shot it hot at a really low dosage psi and flooded it with powder and it stuck.

 

I wouldn't have thought that would work. Cool!

Have you tried the "liquid" powders yet?

 

Nope but I'm getting ready to refinish my shot gun with cerakote gun coatings
