Got a guy wanting me to use it and I've never messed with any of there stuff that I remember.
any first hand experience ?
Quirks ?

Edit: this stuff is some kind of powder coat that takes baking to set , I'll have to call him back ,I'm not set up to do this type of stuff and don't want to be .
Forget I asked, he said it was a two step paint on the phone that he wanted to use on his bike frame.

Mod: you can delete this if you want

It is not a powder coat, it is a water based product. Ask your customer where he can buy this stuff, that will probably shut the idea down...it usually is a bulk tank purchase. These type of automotive coatings are geared to an automated process and are justified by the number of parts that can be coated in a given time....throughput.

I didn't call him yet but i'll put that question to him when i do . I'll look tonight to see if i can get anymore info on this stuff. He's looking for a color he seen on a machine at a paper mill or something and thats where the idea came from. I told him up front i've never used the stuff or even heard of it , so I left it up in the air. :HMMM:

Thanks for the reply.

Go to this site.....it explains the process and will convince anyone that they dont want to try this at home!!!!

This isnt your low volume coating. Now, if he gives you a few million bucks......

HaaaaHaaaa "I have no business working w/this stuff " :LOL:

I made the call and visited for a while explained what I learned and he pushed his point ,
I turned the job down under the conditions ,
He changed his mind and is now coming over this week to look at a few samples I've got, to pick colors . :LOL:

he didn't have any idea , he thought it was a normal spray just easier, because it was 2 stage w/a funny feel . :LOL: ya, a feeling of funny latex .... :LOL:

Thanks ... robot (I don't know your name, sorry) for the enlightenment

ya learn sumth'n new every day ... if your lucky.

Show him the web page describing the process....not a backyard (or even mid-sized shop) process!! The stuff offers really consistent thicknesses....so a bike frame would have excellent coverage where tubes meet and on the tube diameter....stuff that is tough to shoot by hand. I see why he was impressed with the stuff....it just is not something that he can have a single part run.
