PCS-250 Powder Coating Gun
The Eastwood PCS-250 Dual-Voltage HotCoat™ Powder Coating Gun gives you complete coverage from tight areas to large surfaces while operating on standard 120v household current. This innovative system will allow you to achieve the benefits of powder coating small parts instead of coating them with paint. This new and improved dual-voltage system gives you the capability to coat small areas using the low 15kv setting or coat large areas using the high-voltage setting 25kv. All you need is a compressed air source (5-10 PSI from a portable tank with a regulator or a compressor) to power your gun, an electric oven or toaster oven to cure the finish and a well-ventilated workspace in which to do your coating. This new and improved gun features color-coded cabling, larger ground clamp, increased trigger room and a clear bottle so you can see the powder color and fluidizing action.

This innovative, inexpensive powder-coat gun helps you do a professional-looking powder coating job right at home. All you need to add is compressed air (5-10psi), a dedicated electric oven and your favorite powder.
Why powder coat? Because it gives you one of the most economical, color-durable, and longest-lasting finishes available. You'll find powder-coated surfaces are far more resistant to chipping, scratches, fading, and wear than other finishes, and the color selection is virtually unlimited, with high and low gloss, metallic, and clear finishes available. And thanks to the UV resistance of many of the powders, colors stay bright and vibrant longer. Texture selections range from smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matte finish, plus rough textures designed for hiding surface imperfections.
One 8-oz. bottle of powder (not included) covers the same area as 2-3 cans of spray paint, and clean-up is easy, since you can simply sweep-up the oversprayed powder. Contains no environmentally harmful solvents. HotCoat powder coating requires a 5-10psi compressed air source and dedicated electric oven (or toaster oven).

Sounds simple enough. I only looked it up because of a job application i found, and it sounded cool. Not sure why they wanted 3 years experience, no wonder theyre "urgently hiring"!
Doing the same lol, I’m hoping they actually hire entry level applicants
I work as a Powder Coater in a Metal manufacturing
This video just made you guys $500 or so. Wife loves to paint and DIY and I sell industrial ovens. I’m placing an order right now.
Awesome information. Thanks for the video. Give Joe a fat raise.
Man what a great video, I may be getting a powder coating job soon this was very helpful
Very nice tutorial bro. Thanks

Nice video
Hi just wondering what brand name and type of regulator you are using on the gun?
Can you powder coat If alloy wheels have aluminium filler in them?
can you paint two color gradient effect ?
how do I power my bags on my f6b goldwing?
This is a great video and I really appreciate it. One thing I dont understand is why we can use a device using 15,000 V to 100,000 V to apply the powder but it is unsafe to use a 120 V appliance to clean up the powder off the floor. Im wanting to begin powder coating. The two biggest issues I need to work out are oven and clean up.
Because the powder coating system is typically operating in a grounded state as a single system. That is your gun and the part have the a similar voltage potential which limits the energy transfer in any potential sparks.
When it comes to the vacuum you're not dealing with the 120V system sparking. Instead the vacuum imparts energy into the dust leading to the system behaving like a capacitor and storing a very large amount of energy. Even then this will most often discharge without you ever being aware that it happened and no fire. Until that day you get a bit lazy and let a lot of dust build up, then the spark happens to occur right where the correct fuel air mixture exists. This flame wave front blasts more powder in front of it up into the air causing a massive deflagration and your shop burns to the ground.
This is a way better video than those Eastwood live videos with that cringy dude talking non sense to fill time instead of showing how something is done!
Can I spray the powder in a fan booth with air filters?
So how’s it work with a panel that needed body work (added bondo or putty to even it out) ??
How long and what temperature should you outgas
Why are you guys still selling the old non clear bottles and did you fix the sealing problem of powder coming out with the gun and bottle/canister threading? On my older unit i had to make my own seal to stop the powder from seeping through the canister and threading of the gun..so much powder wasted.
They should teach this in the Ivy Leagues during Winter Study 😅
what kind of powdercoat are you using on engine parts that are a high heat part? What is the best way to powdercoat a 55 gallon drum for a smoker?
Great video BTW!
Hey thanks, Indy,
Powder is designed to "flow out" (basically, it just melts) at 400F, right. As long as you're not getting close to that hot, you'll be ok.
So for a smoker, you're looking at about 250F - 275F max, right? At that temp, any of our powder is going to be rock solid.
For really high heat, we have high-temp paints that will hold up to 650F, but valve covers, wheels, springs, and most underhood components don't get near the 400F required to re-melt powder.

Side note: be careful not to contaminate any food with powder, or paint.
@@eastwoodco some smoking might be at 350-375 If someone wants to do chicken or some sides. I know gateway says to not exceed 410 on the season process.
QUESTION: is it viable to use two powder coating guns in one target? Like for example a car rim or bigger target? If so, does it both requires to be grounded to the target, or one gun is enough to be connected and be grounded to the target?
I suppose you could? I don't think it's viable though. Once the part is 100% covered in powder, you're done. 1 gun is more than capable of 100% coverage on larger parts. Maybe if you really wanted to coat things quickly, but there's really no reason to rush with powder coating.
It doesn't matter where your ground comes from. Stick a copper rod into the earth and ground off of that if you want. As long as the part is grounded, the charged cloud of powder will want to stick to it.

Ive been using the dual voltage system for about a month, and im so so happy with it. I want to get the nicer psc1000 because if the gun I have is doing this great of a job I could only imagine how good the psc1000 would be. However it is a bit pricey and im not totally sure if buying the gun is worth it because I've found it really easy to buy a handful of those bottles and just fill them with powder and screw them onto the gun when I need a new one and I find that really simple and cheap. So I mean to ask is the psc1000 worth it. Because I can say for sure that the dual voltage gun was worth every single penny spent on it.
The PCS1000 is actually REALLY shitty and 100% not worth the price. Get a Hypersmooth or even a EZ-50 is better. We have amazing results with our EZ-50 as a backup, far better than any Eastwood or entry level gun in that range can do.
@@DonkeyBong490 Ok thanks, I'm going to look right into it!
@@DonkeyBong490 I just looked into both and i think that the ez50 is exactly what I want. Does the powder flow smoothly and stick well? Those are my main complaints about my current gun.
@@aaronwhaley1271 Yes, it really is a great little gun that we use often. It does multi coat much better than the Eastwood offerings and it's far more affordable. A proper grounding rod set up will make a huge difference from what you are used to with your dual voltage gun in terms of adherence into those faraday cage areas.
Do you have to strip the chrome off a fishing guide and there's a piece of plastic ring in it?
You'll have to strip off any chrome in order for the powder to stick. Also, that plastic ring will (probably) melt in the 400 degree F baking process. I'd try gently popping it out of the guide. Hopefully it isn't glued in.
-JD
Thank you
Can I also powder coat some motorcycle flairing( plastic/fiber) materials???
No - the material has to be able to withstand 400 degrees when it's put on bake.
Best air regulator for a 150? Thanks
Either of these will work for you
Budget option: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-concours-pro-0-80-psi-air-regulator.html
Elite Option: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-elite-paint-gun-regulator.html
Can you spray a spray paint clear coat over powder coating?
You'd have to scuff the surface - but they're two different approaches to top coating. We also offer clear powder coat for exactly that reason. www.eastwood.com/hotcoat-powder-super-gloss-clear.html
Can I powder coat the inside of my home oven
A home oven is capable of baking the powder - we recommend a dedicated oven for food safety.
What i meant is I have a double stack oven that got damaged by baking with foil paper bon the bottom. I want to refinish the bottom with powder coating so I don't have to keep looking at it
No that won't work - Powder melts at 400 degrees - so as soon as you bake something it will re-flow.
cost of powder ?
We have powders starting under $10

Unfortunatley your in USA am in Scotland and we are so behind here with the technology you have over there.
Hlo sir I'm form India please help me😢
I always hear powder is zero voc and safe, but then hear the never use the same oven as food. So it's not so safe.
Safe doesn't mean edible. Toothpaste is safe, you shouldn't eat it. Lego bricks are safe, don't eat them. Nuclear power is safe, don't eat uranium.

Damnit! Wanted to listen but that GD chainsaw background noise is assinine!!
Think I can make a homemade oven out of plywood?
No...
I want to powdercoat a whole ass motorbike frame. I dont think an electric oven is gonna be big enough!!!
Well we have you covered:

Nice guy, decent video, mediocre explination/use of terms it is a little frustrating, but maybe I'm just too picky. It gives the impression he doesn't truly know what he's talking about.
Lol this is brutal compared to other options, I know it has it's applications but not for me. Good video though.
