Eastwood vs Harbor Freight Powder Coat Comparison - Round 2

- So in my first video where I compared these two systems I goofed in more ways than one. I decided to do a 2nd video and hopefully get it right. Did I?
Here's the infrared lamps on eBay where I got mine.

"Let me turn the air up a little" (powder coats the whole garage red) lol good video
You need to start on low voltage in the tight corners, do the right corners first because it’s creates too much of a charge if you do the rest first, once you’ve done the tight areas turn it to high voltage and and spray the rest of the part, and the smoothness of the finish is affected a lot by the amount of powder you put on it, small orange peel is the result of not enough powder, large orange peel is from too much powder
I was one of the negative commenters last time. This was much much better, thanks for the quality video!
I've used the harbor freight gun for multiple things. I've used both harbor freight powders and prismatic powders. The red harbor freight powder worked perfect and set up very glossy and used it on a heel plate on my motorcycle. Thousands of miles later it looks just like it did out og the oven. I used the harbor freight black and it did not come out of the gun very well and I suspect it may have had moisture in it causing it to spit and sputter while shooting. The prismatic powders I used illusion purple and a matte clear top coat that both worked very well.out of the gun. I do however use an inline pressure regulator/ water sepperator.
Thank you for the 2 videos on the powder coating. I have just started working with the Eastwood system and you have showed me things I did not know.
You should watch some videos on how to powder coat. I've watched both of your videos on this comparison. Your air pressure is not low enough on the harbor freight gun. You also didn't have the same angle on your parts. You had a horizontal and vertical 90 degree on the nova cluster, and completely upside-down on your sheet metal. However your comparison seems a little better. The harbor freight gun works great. I've been using it for years. You don't want full air pressure to your gun on any system regulate the hose down to 15psi. Keep up the videos I've watched several.
Nice to see a creator take criticism constructively. Of course there will always be garbage human beings in the comment section tho. Nice work man.
Excellent video, I'm going to be powder coating everything LOL. I was specifically looking for how to protect car parts instead of just painting them and this looks perfect.
Thank you for the video and information, I have both Eastwood dual voltage as well as harbor freight powder coating guns, Both have a place in my work shop and I use them together to save time. My first Eastwood dual voltage gun failed and would shock me just holding it so Eastwood with fantastic customer service replaced it with the new “black dual voltage gun” instead of the blue one and it works amazing, I use the harbor freight just for clear coat. Eastwood is for the colored powder and it works great and saves me time. One comment I had after watching both guns was the amount of powder sprayed out of the harbor freight. If you do another video like this perhaps you can take the weight of the powder before and after to see how much of a difference from each gun. Also use a pressure regulator directly off the compressor so the same air flow goes through both guns so it’s a fair test. Thanks again and be safe. I appreciate the videos and information.
Love these powder coating videos, thanks for sharing man 👍🏻
This is exciting to watch! I can't wait to see an updated Round 3 😁.
About 10 or 12 years ago I made a locking door for our plain generic mail box and used Eastwood red powder, and to this day it has yet to rust.
Thank you for a lot of information. I have been thinking about a kit and you have really helped me decide which one I want
Because the guns are fogging the part, it would seem more productive to make a poly hoarding for the back side to contain the "powder fog" more. Love your videos and comparisons.
I have been having the same problems. The HF system is wasting too much of my powder. It also seems to give a weak charge. I like the example of the two coats with out peeping the first coat. I have wasted too much time sanding off the first bad coat for a reapplication. I think we would all appreciate (from yourself or others) how to fix screw ups and problems. I did learn a couple of tips, so, thank you.
manual says to position parts so powder falls into crevices. page 9: "If the object has grooves or recesses, position the object so that gravity assists the powder mist to fall into the grooves or recesses" . That's just a common practice. Id buy either but HF is 2 miles away and returns are super easy.
I have never uploaded a video now to and I’m a very handy guy that have done a million diy at home . But I don’t do videos on, anyways I appreciate someone like you doing video and give your opinion on things never do criticize because I done no videos myself. Take the good advice and the trolls criticism let them be , they will never prospered that’s why they criticize. I follow a guy name COLTS WAY and all though he does what I do for a living (LINEMAN) he says it very clear . I don’t care what you think or say that’s his way on doing it.
In the first video, you forgot the ground clip on one test and the powder stuck very well anyhow. Because the part had been heated to 400* and the powder melted on it.
Good job! Much better comparison this time.
Great video. Keep them coming.
