What are your thoughts on Cerakoting?
Its looking awesome m8
Looks great
Looking good
*2 stroke for Life *
Looks awesome but I like the coarseness of powder coating I would do that more
Im a certified Cerakote applicator and apply it professionally. Fantastic job for a home job. few things I would do differently is gas out before blasting, use a spray gun that can spray an oval instead of just a small circle, and use weight instead of volume when measuring paint. Also cerakote is applied much more evenly when ran through the proper filter before pouring into the gun, also the BIGGEST mistake people make is not letting the part level out for 15-20 minutes before throwing in the oven. Other than that this is a great job on this video.
Thanks for taking your time to share pro tips!
the procedures we have most all parts have to be phosphated before spray can be applied. I normally outgas after phosphating right before i mask and apply spray. Is the procedure of gassing parts out meant to be done before blast always?
what good does gassing out do to a part that isnt down to bare metal? what is its been previously coated with like an oil based paint @@walkerjohnson2325
Bro is sandblasting necessary if I want to get into this. And what size nozzle is best I heard .8mm? Thx
If you live in Florida I'd love learn
I'm a Cerakote applicator and your video is great! One suggestion if you follow this guide would be not to use an airbrush. The nozzles are way to small for good flow. Your parts turned out great but it really should only take one wet coat. Due to your nozzle being to tiny achieving one wet coat was difficult without several passes or coats. Cerakote recommends a .8 nozzle which is perfect and can even achieve a almost glossy slickness. A .8 nozzle can be found on most hlvp touch-up guns which can be found very cheap. I believe you will get much better results this way and a more beautiful finish.
Also gas out only takes 20 minutes if your oven is up to temp.
Once again this is a great diy guide. Thumbs up! And subbed!
Thanks Tim! I'll definitely try those out
5 years late but passche airbrushes go up to 1.0 fluid nozzle. Especially the VL series. Excellent for cerakote.
Thanks for the helpful overview of the Cerakote process. Tip: Shelf-Life refers to how long the products can be preserved in storage before they start to degrade. Pot-Life refers to how long the reactive chemicals remain usable after being mixed.
Great video, tutelage, lessons, explanations, camera work, audio
& NO lame loud music or condescending remarks.
I appreciate & applaud you.
You would make a phenomenal
teacher / shop instructor. Look
forward to more videos. Thank
you. Oh yeah 2 stroke for moto X
& 4 stroke for street
Man, I can hardly wait to get a real shop so I can start doing things like this on my projects. Simply awesome results! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Keep up the great work, Cameron!
Hey man it's been aa year since this comment came I was wanting to see how's business going I would love to see the progress
This is the weirdest gun customization video I've ever seen.
Lmao! You clicked on the wrong video homeboy.
@@InClaymont *swooosh* :P
Anton H it’s woooosh, not Swoooosh
fakecubed this is like an Homage to the videos where they avoid calling guns guns, lmao
Yeah I was recommended this video after watching fire arm customization vids as well... Cool to see the process though. Places charge a small fortune to do this.
Your channel is very inspiring..... I've never rode a dirt bike, but I just recently bought my 7 and 9 year old both some used crf50's, like I said used, so I've been all over youtube on restoring them and making them look half way decent for Christmas gifts. Now I'm getting all this crazy thoughts on stuff I can do to their bikes. Thank you for all the sharing that you do. You are awesome!!!!
2 stroke all the way! It's the rider that makes a 2 stroke "work" !!! Awesome job on the triple clamp, looks awesome. I've been wanting to do some powder coating at home but wasn't sure about the oven. Never thought about a regular stove. Not big enough to do rims but small parts would be perfect!!!! Thanks for these videos!!!
I did an AR 15 upper/lower/forearm set as meticulously as you did but I blasted, decreased, acetone bath, heated, sprayed, baked. Came out looking great. As did yours.
I did it backwards like this once as well and it turned out fine, but its better to do it the other way
Love these videos! You all your videos made me to start getting into painting my bike! keep up the good work, and 4 Stroke all the way!
Cameron, 2 years on, how did the Cerakote hold out? Maybe a good time for an evaluation on the Ceracote coatings and applications? Would really appreciate it as there is little or no experience with it. Good luck with your videos, they are great and inspiring! Frank
Those clamp looks awsome !! 4 stroke.
Oooooooh.... 2 stroke, the aroma of fuel/oil mix! Keep up the great work Cam!
Thanks for the video. It was nice to see someone that is thorough with a well thought out process.
I'm watching this for probably the 30th time since the video first came out and I still get impressed at your attention to detail and results every single time. Hope everyone is staying safe in these strange times 👍🏻
Great videos ! 4 Stroke. I've done a lot of painting and you look like you have it figured out. Keeping things clean is the secret. For a rack, just weld some steel angle into a 6' X 6' square, weld a 3' piece on each end to bolt 4 cheap casters to and you have a cheap, easy to store rack to hang thins on while painting and drying. Keep on making useful and interesting videos !!!
Thanks John! I'll give that a shot.
2 stroke all the way.. I have a cr125 and that piece would look great for my build. Thanks man keep up the great work! Love the vids
AMAZING work!! Wow!!! Great step-by-step instructional too, so fun to watch.
PS love the attention to detail in your videos, keep up the good work bro can’t wait to see the finished bike
Looks great and great content as always and I’m a 2 stroker always thanks for the upload
Hey Cameron. I recently stumbled on to your channel when looking for information on fcr carbs. I'm really impressed with both the quality of your videos and information. Just a few quick observations. As someone who paints and airbrushes, when you set your spraying pressure, set it with the trigger or button pressed, it will always drop a few psi, and manufacturers give you spraying pressures, not static. Also, when spraying paint start with the top surfaces. When you start with the sides, dry overspray winds up landing on the top and makes for a rougher surface when you get to painting the top, although from what I can see it doesn't look like it affects the cerakote process. I'm assuming it flows out like powder coat during the curing process. *I'm nit picking*, but some food for thought if you start painting parts.
Again, excellent videos and your work is a source of inspiration for my machines. Having only ridden 4 stroke quads, its hard for me to decide. One thing is for sure, 2 strokes sound just plain cool.
Keep up the great work man, and thanks.
Pat.
Awesome work, wouldn't mind to try this out myself on some car parts. I see this coating is quite popular on guns.
Great instructional video. Thanks for the video. I love 4-strokes..
Having had the joy of riding two stroke, I feel my references are now leaning toward four stroke. Great job coating those parts!
2 strokes!!! Love the how to vids. Would be awesome to see more.
Straight up class act; excellent detailed video!
Thanks for the very good video. You answered many of my questions. Oh, and I have only had one trail, Honda SL175, 4 stroke back in 1971, had a back operation in 1972, no bikes since then. Loved that bike!
Just subbed. Your videos are so in depth! I thought I was the only one that went this crazy with cleaning my bikes and such.. props!
Welcome to the channel! Haha good to hear we're on the same page there
+Cameron Niemela haha right on man!
Awesome presentation. Thank you. 2-stroke. I have 2 Yamaha RD400's. You would really enjoy an old 70's 2-stroke street bike. A restoration video of an old RD 400 would be great.
I have several Cerakoted firearms, it works great and I love it!
Muito bom seus vídeos! Seu trabalho é como a de um profissional relojoeiro! Nos mínimos detalhes! Um grande abraço parabéns! O tradutor ajuda muito!
Excellent job.
Just a couple of points to help you achieve more consistent results ( not better 'cos that already looks good). First, don’t forget to clean the tips of your pliers. If they aren’t degreased you could get contamination from them. Secondly, set your air pressure on falling pressure. If you haven’t used the reg recently on a standard reg you can get slip-stick friction on the regulator diaphragm which can cause a variation of up to 5psi actual pressure at the gun tip although the gauge is reading the same.
congratulations for your work, I would like to have half of your talent and that here in Brazil had these top paints
Aqui, amigo: cerakotebrazil.com.br/
Tem sim.
Dude just wanna say thanks for making sweet vids. Your hard work shows. 👍
Very nice!!! Thanks for sharing the process of cerakoting.
I have owned both 2 and 4 strokes but I have to say I prefer a 4 stroke because of the power it offers all the way through the RPMs. Nothing like the sound and smell of a 2 stroke, but if I had to ride one I would choose a 4 stroke.
@@chasemud749 2000 rpm's isn't exactly screaming... And why does everyone think a "power band" is some kind of magical power a two stroke has? They have *power* *valves* that help deliver the power when needed. I figured anyone that "raced" in the 70's on a "motor cross bike" would have known that...
2 stroke beacause they sound good and are easy to maintain and more
This looked sick! I'm going to have to give this a try on my mountain bike's lowers and crowns.
Awesome video man ! - Those finished Cerakoted parts look fantastic ! - Very well done 10/10 👍👍👍
Interesting process i.e. ceramic coating ; I will use this for coating a victorian wood Parlor stove: they do have a chrome coating I will try to get that. Thanks!
Amazing work,, 4 stroker for me
Love your paint videos dude. Excellent work !!!
That’s an awesome color, looks amazing
2-Stroke!!
I have 3. Lol
Well.. 4.
Tuesday I drove 200 miles to buy one of two near mint machines..
1. 2003 KX500 $3900
2. 2008 CRF450r Black edition $2800
Both were great looking clean bikes and had all the power.
If I had the cash I would have had no problem buying both.
The KX500 is in my garage.
😁
I'll definaty be doing Cerakote thanks to you.
Love the videos.
Thank you so much for the education you provide.
John
John Hobson Hope you keep the videos going ! Very clean, to the point, pro level work and documentation !! Can't honestly make a choice between 2 / 4 stroke. They each have their own nitch/purpose !!
i own a 115cc yamaha from 1983 ~ 2 strokes rule!
@@markknight6910 Umm it was Cameron that did the video.
John Hobson can I have it
2 stroke power. All the way. I am a proud owner of an 87trx250r and its awesome.
Wow that cerakote looks great! 2 stroke for life.
Always loved 2 strokes! Loved to get a KX500 again.
Just to let you know, you should spray using the half half method rather than randomly. Randomly spraying will give it a uneven coating thickness that could result in tolerance issue.
Overall a very nice project. I've watched a lot of cerakote related videos, and most are a little scary.
Just a few small suggestions.
Mix everything at 12:1. At 18:1 and 24:1, the surface of the coating, once it's finished, will scuff. You won't have that problem at 12:1.
Also, you want to make sure whatever spray gun (or airbrush) you are using has a metal cup. The catalyst will actually melt the plastic cup, and mix it in with your coating.
You also want to keep in mind that pressure at the gauge can be significantly less than operating pressure. We set our pressure with the air bleeding off of the gun to get it right. Too low and you can end up with dry spray. It's probably not an issue with an airbrush, but just wanted to mention it for those using a HVLP.
Again, this was a very nice project. Burnt Bronze is one of my favorite colors.
Hey thanks for your feedback! You make some great points there, I'll work those into the next project. Great videos by the way.
Thank you Cameron. If you have any questions, our contact info is on our website, bransoncerakote.com.
Man, you are spot on ,but you and I, who have a gun shop, know that it is not as easy as it looks. I cerakote and do hydrographics, and have seen these videos. To many people think it is a piece of cake and try the DYI thing only to bring it to me to do it right. I am not trying to start anything here, but know it is better to use someone who does it for a living and backs their work up with some kind of warrantee.
For what he was coating, none of the little mistakes would really matter. I would recommend clear coating them.
I have done my share of repair work, but I also can say I've picked up a ton of little tricks from the DIY'ers.
Hi man, how to remove cerakote?
I just used this on my two Sig suppressors for my .300 blk out sbr. Works great.
I learned more from you than others I’ve watched!
I have a 4 stroke 2015 crf 250r currently using you linkage rebuild video to help work on it
His videos are so awesome and informative...used them as a point of reference a few times!
4 stroke less maintenance and all that torque but kind of depends on the situation out here we ride in hollows so lots of straight up and down hill climbing so the low end torque is your friend but in other situations 2 stroke is King just not here lol project looks great definitely going to be trying this technique out thanks for the video
2 strokes are less maintenance, you don’t have to adjust the valves every 20 hours and you don’t have to do oil changes
i would say more maintenance on a 4 stroke too... on dirtbike/motards at least.
i had a husky 570smr, rebuild was expensive.
been looking for a road registered cr500 for 15 years, everytime one come up im broke : (
just throw in some piston rings every now and then and off you go.
the 4 stroke for sure a smoother ride though.
Well done! Excellent detailed description. Thanks!
Hola Cameron! Just a quick note to say that I have become a huge fan of yours! You are very talented! Your technique for teaching and capturing details and technique on video is outstanding! I also respect your mechanical talent and innovation. You definitely approach things the correct way! I have learned a lot from you... thank you! I am currently deployed (pilot) in El Salvador and I have been spending all my free time catching up on your excellent vids. I recently returned to bikes after a twenty year hiatus and am the proud owner of two Kawasakis (KLR and Concours 14). I am having a blast on both bikes and I am looking for a more trail capable machine that is more MX oriented. I just wanted to send you some giant KUDOS for a job well-done! BTW... your track riding isn't bad either! Oh yeah... FOUR STROKES all the way! BRAAAPP! I had been considering trying powder coating and now, it looks like Cerakoate will be an option as well. You got me excited to get back into my shop when I get home! Respect!!!
Good stuff.
You'll get better control of your color if you keep the brush moving parallel to the piece. Don't swing your wrist from side to side, and try not to back up over each stroke as that gives you an uneven layer of color. Try not to trigger the brush in the middle of the piece as the first bit of color will always be a little dry.
Also, why would you want 2-strokes when you could have four....!?
You😂😂
man your vids are getting so pro...and i am going to say two stroke..only cause i do pocket bike vids..thumbs up
Thanks! I appreciate that
Pocket bikes are wicked fun 😎😀
I absolutely love the finished look. I have no need to do this but loved your video especially all your shop tools. How do you like your HF sandblasting cabinet?
4stroke and the cerakoting looks amazing!
2 stroke, always, loved the video Cameron
2 strike for full size bike and four stroke for pit bikes
First time I heard Cerakote, the limits are endless, very good video 👍👍
Wow you rock dude. I normally don't subscribe till I've watched 4 or 5 vids. One vid does it here. Ty for for the vid. I will be checking out your others.
Like both!!
i prefer two stroke because i like power band and they always put a smile on my face
Power band isn't a thing! You haven't a clue...
@@nzzs203 what? lmao
@@nzzs203 The RPM range where an engine makes peak torque doesn't exist?
@@nzzs203 yeah they do. I prefer the blue one, much better power delivery then than yellow one. I changed mine when I first got my new bike, never looked back...😂
2 stroke best iv got 2001 cr250r 🤙love your video's mate thanks
Looks awesome man! Thanks for the video!
3:45 his reflection looks like he want to throw some hands with him😂
🤣🤣🤣
2 strome all the way ..........yz 125......... and I don't know why but after I watch your vids I some how end up watching them 3 or 4 times
Cuz no one else makes good build vids like u
2 stroke is my game.
Well put together video.
Excellent job. I like your attention to detail.
Holy shit, I thought this was Devin for a second haha I've heard him talk about his brother but this is the first time I've seen the channel
u r stonned
Two stroke!!! Who doesn’t love a screaming engine? Awesome job on the finish I’d like to see a sway arm finished in Cerakote would look sweet.
PURROS Leukos op
I don't like a screaming bumblebee I would rather hear the mean deep and throaty sound of a four stroke.
Great video man, very educative thank you!!!
Great work Done n shown easily keep up man i too luv doin such work in my spare time
2 STROKE!!!✌️
Cerakote is good stuff. I'm a design engineer and we switched from anodizing aluminum to Cerakote. It passed all of the hardness/chip tests we did!
Beautiful Cameron! 👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥
2 stroke baby and i have a 2007 cr125 project going right now so it would be sweet if i got it!!!!!!
This could've been a 5 minute video.
Came out nice for a first timer!
Man came out great and love the video!!
Time to look on Craigslist for a free oven! I need to do a few things for my 125 project. That being said 2 stroke all the way! Remember kids, valves are for toilets.
Kevin Personius lol
Toilets have Power Valves ?
... another kid wannabe biker on a 125 two stroke toy.
alan connelly 👍 whatever you say lol
@@KevinPersonius glad you agree👍👍👍
Really nice results bro. Thanks for sharing. Does this work on engines?
Four strokes are of course best for larger bikes. But who could argue that a Bultaco two stroke trials bike isn't a serious classic.
I've got two Honda fours with gear driven cams - the obvious best choice, despite what Ducati tell us. And I've got two 1980 Bultaco twinshocks. I learned to ride on an ex Post Office BSA 125 Bantam.
My first road bike was a C50, probably the best engine ever made - until the NC27 and the VFR. My standards for a great engine are (in order of importance) a combination of: great engineering design, reliability, longevity, appropriate innovation, power, power delivery, and sound.
And whilst I can appreciate the 'potato potato' sound of a Harley - as a novel gimmick, they lack any innovation that belongs in this century, isn't agricultural on nature, and dedicated to vibrating the fevered egos of geriatrics with beards! They also lack power to weight credibility in both engine and whole bike.
I'm almost a geriatric with a beard btw, and I'd rather have something I can throw around on the twisty back roads, than join a moody landbarge cruise.
Hey thanks for watching! Yes, it does work on engine parts. I'll be doing some Cerakote on the engine covers.
As soon as you said you were putting that acetone into that drywall mud tray, I knew it was going to melt it!! I have that exact tray.
Awesome Video. I Love Four Stroke Engines. Keep up the great work. Nick.
is the sandblasting part necessary for cerakote to stick or can I do without it ? Awesome videos Cam, stay healthy and keep em comin
According to the website sanding won’t work do you have to sandblast it seems pretty meticulous and like all the steps that they show are necessary. Search the websites videos on Cerakote
nice work.
4 stroke is better because who doesn't like more strokes :-)
They have about the same strokes, just the one ignite twice as often as the other
the stroke count is related to each combustion event, not revolutions per minute. 2 and 4. not the same. in fact one is exactly twice the amount of the other.
unless you only need 2 to get the job done!
Are we still talking about dirt bikes? LOL!
Tough debate. It’s like what’s better? “in out, in out, splash” or “pump, pump, squirt”.
nice work - looks gorgeous!
You have a very good voice and presence. Good job.
You're missing a water separator and also you wanna strain the cerakote before pouring it into your gun
"TWO STROKE!!".
I know I missed the chance to win but I’ve been binge watching your videos and I feel the need to comment. I prefer 4 strokes because that’s what I grew up on and modern day 4 strokes are insane. That being said I love a 2 stroke as well as long as it’s a dirt bike it puts a smile on my face and a feeling of peace and freedom in my heart when I ride.
This is very good and detailed video, thanks. Do you have something similar to this using duracoat?
i do love my 2 strokes but im goig to have to go with 4 stroke
You don’t need to soak for 20 minutes. Spraying and wiping it off is all you need if it’s not really cruddy with paint. If you do need to soak, do it in an ultrasonic unit for a couple of minutes. Of course, blasting shoots microscopic particles into the surface, and they may not come off. Baking may outgas for cast metals, such as aluminum, cast iron or zinc, but not steel. It could also microscopically cause oxidation. I can see these problems using a microscope.
So overcleaning isn’t always helpful.
What about using m.e.k.
Ah typical internet. Super helpful/interesting/insightful comment, followed by a moron with nothing, followed by some dick head pontificating about how the previous moron is so mind numbingly dumb they dont even know how to ask a question properly. What about 'what about using m.e.k.'? Ya dumb fuck? Elaborate on what exactly you're asking jesus fucking christ.
that is a cast aluminum and its alot harder to find a 2 foot long ultrasonic washer then going to harbor freight and buying a 100$ blast cab. looks like it worked just fine but id like to know how it holds up in the longer run
@@chriseller6402 ya but whut about using m.e.k. tho
@@0for30 Just as you stated above on elaborating, are we talking using it instead of acetone for a faster process or using it to skip certain things. Personally i think its a little overkill but thats me and you can get acetone much easier than MEK at least in my area.
2 bangers my dude
Great results! What do you use to clean the cerakote out of the mixing tube and spray gun tank?
why didnt you sandblast then soak in acetone lol
Always clean before blasting, as blasting wont remove grease, oils, etc. It will make it harder to clean after blasting.
Me before watching: "wow, finally someone done this at home and use garage tools "
Me after watching: "dude, you are pro AF, forget about it, I'll just spray paint "
Me too.
Dupli-Color high temp paints (with ceramic supposedly) I have found, leave a very nice and durable finish. I have been using the hell out of the "cast coat iron" which is like a dark metallic-ish grey with just a hint of bronze tint I really like it.
@@codelicious6590 i have also used high temp engine paint before that was super durable
No joke. This is a huge pain in the @ss.
