Re: silly question
i dont have a pic its just in genral it will be getting dun mostly to sets of alloy wheels the bit i dnt understand is do i coat the wheel with the base colour bake it off mask upthe areas i would like kept the base colour then how do i preheat the wheel so the second colour wil stick without melting the tape to the 1st colour as i stated in previous topic before i dnt really have any knowledge about powder coating the basics thats about it lol thanks for all the help guys -
Re: silly question
What gun are you using? Parts do not have to be pre-heated to lay down powder the powder particles are charged through you gun and attracted to the part + to - ...send me your email address and I will send you information on powder coating...Comment

Re: silly question
the green high temp tape will not melt under normal curing temps .
i never used the optiflex but both guns i use the older model gema and the wagner give similar results
you will have to practice and try different settings to see what s best for you but a good starting point
would be to set both the kv and the miliamps at 60 for most jobs , very large flt areas you can raise to 80,
complex shape you lower the settings , second coats try 40 or 45 kv for a start.
with my gema i can do 6 coats with no problems.
for air adjustments you adjust to have a nice unform powdercloud with no puffing or spitting with just enough pressure push that powdercloud over the part , but you don t want the air pressure to blow the powder off the part .
do a few tests and tell us how it turned out
