Very helpful thank you,I just started a career in marketing powder coating so I’m doing my homework to get a better understanding of the product I’m marketing
1:24 I'm an automotive painter and this paint job is terrible. The texture the amount of dirt and possibly solvent popping. It is much easier to mess up a paint job, but I assure you if done properly in a paint booth it doesn't turn out like this. Not to mention the fact that the washer nozzle is already put back in before this was either polished or re-done.
Cool informative video. Can you tell me how OEM (spray) wheel paint differs from OEM body panel paint? Is it just more layers? I've noticed that OEM wheels' paint is FAR more durable, harder and a lot more resistant to scratches. And survives the abuse that tire machines do. Compared to like OEM body panel paint.
Actually, powder coating is something you can do more easily at home than painting. Painting equipment is much more expensive unless you're using rattle cans. Also, I advise you to be a (good) painter to be painting anything car related. Even some painters only do crap jobs, let alone someone with no experience. And you don't have to just "clean" the part, the prep work includes sanding and applying primer if other repairs ain't needed.
Absolutely, I believe we noted that prep work would be needed. Also it is very important to have a good painter do your work on your car. Not doubting anyones skill set but its best to have a professional do that type of work rather then a DYI expert! 😂👍
@@FitmentIndustries You did mentioned it, I just feel like you skipped through it too quickly. It just needed one more phrase to salientate the importance of it, as a good prep work is more important than a good painjob, to my belief. Both are important, of course, but none can do without the other.
@@alesdrolec2640 Dude... I'm an aircraft painter as a profession... Used to be a car painter and we did powder coat wheels. I'm sorry, but you're barking at the wrong tree. I do find the process of powder coating... Not "easier", but more "stupid proof". It's harder to mess up and requires less prep work. The workshop I was in didn't go for the high end finish, it was more like the cheap option. It wasn't the top best thing out there, but it was pretty acceptable! We cooked the power in an old kitchen oven, we couldn't do more than one rim at a time, lol.
@@ThePortuguesePlayer helo, its been 6 long years, I just need your unbiased advice, which is better for painting a mag wheels of a motorcycle? Polyurethane paint or Powder Coating? Thanks in advance c",?
About three years back the shop where I work at received the set of one-off custom aluminum composite dragset rims. We were worried that the molecular structure would be changed from the baking process but it's been three seasons and he still using the same set.
so if i daily my car and i decide to do a painted set instead of powder coat id be fine ? the company even gave me a lifetime warranty if i painted or powder coated as well so any chipping will be fixed free 🤷🏾♂️
@@FitmentIndustries The issue isn't "strengthening" the wheel. The issue is heating the wheel beyond its engineered tempering time and the possibility of making it more brittle and crack prone. And the question of this is not limited to forged wheels. Many manufacturers of wheels of all types recommend against powder coating after purchasing their wheels.
@željko šimić Not melting; tempering. The tempering process does not aim to use a temperature which melts material. Just to heat it up and then cool it down to strengthen it. But the theory is that continuing the process beyond the designed amount risks going past strength towards brittleness. I think about it like this: we bake cookies at a specific temperature for a specific time to make them firm (or crisp) but continuing the process or putting them back into an oven afterwards tends to overcook them and make them more brittle. I'm no expert and I'm not even saying that it's 100% certain when it comes to powder coating wheels. I just try to understand what's been presented to me.
@@qleap99 you are correct from what I was told by two specialist painter's when I asked about getting my forged wheels refinished. Told me paint and not to power coat due to decrease in strength.
Im doing my cbr 600 rr rims with powder coat. I dont have an over big enough if I took a salamander and heat treat on a boxed in made oven would that work?
How much would it cost to typically sand blast and power coat a dirt bike frame? Just looking for a general bark park so when I go to a shop I know what to expect.
what if you powder coat the whole entire classic car thats all metal lets say? wouldnt that actually be better then paint? easier to clean, alot more durable, and dosnt rust? and alot cheaper if your doing a candy color right? and still get a amazing finish ive seen. idk i need opinions
Easier to clean ? Probably same as paint . More durable -> yes , but not rustproof as same as paint . idk if you can even put a zink coating under powder . Biggest flaw is the “ruff” texture , it has a lot more texture or orange peel which is not really noticeable on small surfaces like wheels but on a body of a car ..well it would look like the paint of a 1970 Trabant xD which was for fact also burnt in .
lol what is powder coat is its a thick finish haha thats was what powder coat leaves behind not what it is lol powder coat is a powdered plastic that is heated till it melt to the surface and flows out lol.. thanks for sharing
Can u do a video on the L3B engine(4cyl)that is in the 2020 Silverado? Why does the caddy version put out more H.P. and torque than the Silverado version
He's still here doing videos! He just is jumping from doing every video to some videos! Expect to see him Saturdays, Sundays, Thursdays and maybe Tuesdays.
I've done some homework and seen people plasti dipping everything from wheels, bumpers, interior trim to their entire car in plasti dip... Not cool or popular enough to be included I guess lol
We were just talking about specific parts of the car not the actual whole car! But I like the Massive oven idea how many pizzas could you cook in a massive oven if you had to put a number on it? 😂👍
Video was informative but all over the place going back and forth no structure. Had to watch it 10x. Not a good video if your just starting to research the comparison.
Not exactly correct in a lot of ways, love. You are talking some mixed bag publicly accessible knowledge but this is not a real comparison between two paint methods at all. Stick to nail polish.
You’re going to need ALL SORTS of equipment to powder coat on your own. Air compressor, oven, sand blasting cabinet, and powder coating gun. That’s only 4 things.
so ignorant it hurts me, let’s take one thing you said and really use our brains now dork. like the oven, yeah it’s one thing but you need racks, hooks, and the gloves which is 5-10 things in that one thing you said. stop being ignorant

a short video that hits all the points is THE BEST VIDEO
THANK YOU!
When I repaint my truck, I want to cover it in a barn red version of that invincible cream colored coating they use on stove tops.
I can't tell if this is a joke or not because I'm curious too
Very helpful thank you,I just started a career in marketing powder coating so I’m doing my homework to get a better understanding of the product I’m marketing
Paint is done in a booth and is heated to aid in the drying time.
željko šimić Please explain how a booth that is meant to cure the a paint/ clear coat will crack the paint?
Another fire track from Claire 🔥🔥🔥we're waiting on the full length album now! Go Claire go!
LP ON THE WAY 😂
I like Claire.

if i powder cost my rims do i get them ceramic coated still?

Thank you
Gonna need a video on the different ways to change color of wheels🔥
Hmm I like that Im adding it to the list now!
Is it possible to spray paint cast iron?
What are those wheels on the lambo called?
They are 21 x 9 BC Forged wheels here is our gallery link for the Lambo! 🏎 bit.ly/2P015pt
Bring that lil sexy man back. ASAP. lmao
😂
My mini wheels be curbed by pothole , need oem finish, won’t get that with powder coat
Will powder coating rotary forged or forged aluminum wheels weaken or compromise the strength of the wheel?
No it will not.
Depending on the temperature people use in the oven.
About three years back the shop where I work at received the set of one-off custom aluminum composite dragset rims.
We were worried that the molecular structure would be changed from the baking process but it's been three seasons and he still using the same set.
cool. thank you very much for useful information.
Thanks for the video, so if I wanted to powder coat my aluminum boat I would need a huge oven so that the coat can cure? TIA
Yes sir!!
coming from a powder coat background myself this is a good explanation :)
so if i daily my car and i decide to do a painted set instead of powder coat id be fine ? the company even gave me a lifetime warranty if i painted or powder coated as well so any chipping will be fixed free 🤷🏾♂️
If it's warrantied send it
Can powder coating affect the strength of forged wheels?
Although it is believed by many that this works we have not really seen anyone come out and really prove that this does strengthen the wheel!

@@rickstaricksta8512 thats because they are painters and want the work. im a powder coater and will tell you not to waste your money painting wheels.
will painting a wheel cause corrosion on it?
which is better paint or powder coat and why cars are not powder coated?
Because it cost more to powder coat when you are talking about manufacturing, it needs a big oven that can fit car parts.
Is this like a rival to custom offsets?
Big help! Thanks Claire
How could you compare everything except the price differences?? Only reason i watched
The Lambo in the background tho ❤️
This girl is awesome
Im doing my cbr 600 rr rims with powder coat. I dont have an over big enough if I took a salamander and heat treat on a boxed in made oven would that work?
@ 2:45....too much to DIY....Challenge accepted! ($20 Oven off Marketplace, $100 powder coat kit, etc)...might as well learn in life :P
How much would it cost to typically sand blast and power coat a dirt bike frame? Just looking for a general bark park so when I go to a shop I know what to expect.
True I paint cars and the process is tedious and any mistakes can ruin your paint job
Whats your favorite color you have done on a vehicle?! -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries i think it was caspian blue on a mustang loved the color specially after being polished

Its tuned differently and probably has a different cam
I want to powder coat my car so I can run it thru the car wash.
Power coat a car.

He was just in a video dude!!

I will riot.
This guy is crazy
But after all powder coating is costly than paint
I've done some homework and seen people plasti dipping everything from wheels, bumpers, interior trim to their entire car in plasti dip... Not cool or popular enough to be included I guess lol
Plastic dips and wraps are meant to be temporary.... Separate categories imo
Can't repair powder coat
I'm coming from a restoration video
But you can’t powder coat a whole car....... I mean unless you have a MASSIVE oven
We were just talking about specific parts of the car not the actual whole car! But I like the Massive oven idea how many pizzas could you cook in a massive oven if you had to put a number on it? 😂👍
There is actually heated paint booths which you control the temperature inside and get VERY hot (not sure how hot it has to be for powder coating)
I just had a set of wheels powder-coated by a local outfit. They are able to powder coat the entire frame of a car. That's how big their oven is.
Use to power coat at my old job on air conditioning parts easy!
Office video best chowder coating
Office video best powder coating
MISS ME WITH THAT UGLY ASS PAINT.
Leather wrapped wheels ALL DAY
Aye leather wrapped wheels! 😂
Can you paint over powder coat?
Yes you just need to spray apoxy primer and base coat and further paint process
I see a lot of "I like Claire". Yea you better
last
Or just use bedliner
Shes cute though
Where’s alex!!!!!!!!!
Still here! Just jumping to more specific series. You'll still see him on Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays
He was just in a video!
Where’s Alex haha

How about powder coating the whole car?
My mom has oven...
Powder coat suspension parts, brakes, subframes and so on.
Make a video about Vallano wheels please!!! Lol.

The video is good but the crap rap is crap .
