So I bought powdercoating equipment...

Powder coat chrome looks pretty good from some things I've seen. I love black chrome too, I have a polished hematite rock that looks like black chrome.

Ordered some new colors...

3lbs Silver Hybrid (on sale )

1/2lb Chrome

2lbs Super Mirror Black

1 lb Super High Gloss Clear

1/2lb Candy Blue Translucent

1lb Black Crome


Also while I was at it, got some ceramics:

8oz Aluminum color

4oz Chrome

(takes about 4oz for a set of headers)

Also got some 600* masking tape, flat spray pattern tip for the gun, and hole plugs etc to make the job a little easier/nicer.

I can't wait until it gets here, I'm going to ceramic some scrap primary pipes I have here and see what kind of heat they can take with the oxy/acetylene

[IsaacHayes]

haha awesome!!! Are you going to coat a few squares all the diff colors for examples?

[Superdave]

Remember, surface prep is a must when doing the "chrome" powdercoat.. Also, when you do the headers, make sure to mediablast the shit out of them first.

You do know you can buy the booklet that has sample pieces in them of EVERY color?

It'll save you from wasting the material and then it'll be pre labled.

Surface prep is that important for the powdercoating as well. The first time I tried it, I didnt get all the oil out of the part and it bubbled like mad. I'm sure it's going to be near the same procedure for the ceramic. I have my eye on a pressure media blaster, just have to wait for the funds

No, I don't think I'm going to need samples the pics are really close to the actual color from the place I'm oredering. I have a ton of stuff I'm going to coat and sell on ebay, including a Mustang 5.0 top end
