Powder Coating - A Home How to

Thanks. let me throw 1 more at ya that I done last week with some detail work. This is a very time consuming process when Its all done with powdercoat but the end results are very gratifying. This is black mini texture with the lettering done in dazzling pewter.

How do you do the multi-color? Spray 1, wipe off areas you want the 2nd color, spray color 2, then bake? Or do you bake between colors?

On the pieces with the lettering how do you get the lettering in the contrasting color?

You would basically do the first color but not do a full bake on it and then mask off what you want to stay that color and re-spray and bake again.

The link I have hopefully attached is what I followed when I did mine, though I kept my letters the bare metal and then sprayed everything else black and finished with a clear.

Yes exactly. Finger wiping on the plates, the valve covers and the vise from those pics.

Thanks! This is the plate I am thinking of restoring before I put it on the truck...certainly is in good shape, but would look really good restored.
