Re: HELP WITH THIS PIECE PLEASE!!!
can't tell you the mil thickness king but the first time i sprayed it on the light side . the second time i went a little heavier and the third time i used a differant powder and tried hot flocking a second coat. all the same outcome. the piece is smooth to begin with. it looks like a stamped steel piece with the front rounded part welded on. funny thing is the rounded part comes out better than (but not perfect) than the flat sides. i know flat pieces are the worst and of course it has to be black but i'm not going to let this piece go out looking like this.Comment

Harleydad, i have been using the pbtp mirror black but i have the ral 9005 jet black. do you think i would get better results with the 9005? customer just wants "gloss black". i use a ir gun and the pictures are kind of hard to take because it was inside at night.Comment

You gotta tell us what you did. I'm in the same boat right now with a big chunk of alluminum. The round tubing comes out excellent the flat square tube is orange peeled all to hell. First time large orange peel, second time small orange peel. I need this part perfect! Did you sand between coats or just scotch brite the finish?Comment
