I bought an oven, generator to run it, and a powder coating machine so I can do valve covers & calipers. This is a great comparison between the two. I'm curious as to how long the can stuff will last.
How long does a good powder coat like this last? I’m pretty sure my last cover was the can stuff after seeing the comparison and it’s just started peeling after 4 years
Generally speaking, the powdercoat should last longer. Honestly though, if a can job can last up to 4 years it would take over 20 years to spend more on a can than you would on a powdercoat job. So it's just personal preference at that point.
Wow, I would agree, the difference between powder coating and paint is almost indistinguishable. If I had to pick which is which, I’m not sure I could tell. Difference in cost however is dramatic. Powder coating does not look 5-10 times better, so I would say go with the wrinkle paint. Or just buy the powder coating gear and do it at home. Great video.
Painted the jugs of my BMW and Moto Guzzi motorcycles over 30 years ago. Still looks great even after using GUNK to degrease the engine every other year or so. I stuck the jugs in the oven at about 200 degrees before the first coat. They must have changed the formula because the newer one looks much smoother. Mine has kind of a hairy look instead of a bumpy look.
honestly that looks way nicer than I thought it would

i really like how it turned out, cant wait for new videos for the civic!
More content in the works!
Nice job man turns out really good👌
I'd have to agree with you!
Good video I really do wish you covered up the Honda with tape for before you paint the logo
It’s much easier to sand off the paint from the Honda logo than it is to tape that off. It would be super hard to tape that and make it look clean.
Why don't you show how you sand the raised lettering??
🔥🔥🔥👍💯
Powder coat going to last a lot longer.
Absolutely.
