USER GUIDE
GENERAL POWDER COATING
1. Powder Coating should be undertaken by an experienced and competent person. This
is in no way an exhaustive and complete guide of how to Powder Coat/Cure.
2. You should wear a Tyvek suit/coveralls and gloves to protect your hands and skin. Eye
protection should be worn at all times. A dust mask will protect you from inhaling any
paint. Electrostatic paint can dry out your skin and cause irritation.
3. Determine the type of material you are going to powder coat and select a suitable
powder for the finish.
4. Dismantle all threaded or lubricated interfaces before you begin, including anything
you don't want coated. The powder coat you apply will adhere to everything on your rig,
this will make clamps, bolts and nuts useless after blasting. A high temperature masking
tape can be placed on the parts you don't want powder coated, and it can be left on
while in the oven, but it will need to be removed quickly afterwards.
5. Clean the base metal thoroughly. Remove any rust or debris from the metal.
6. Apply the powder to the object to be powder coated. This is done using a spray gun or
a compressed air sprayer which charges the powder material so that it sticks to the base
metal object receiving the coating. After applying the powder, be careful not to brush or
blow on the powder coat, as the powder could fall off and leave you with a less precise
finish.
7. Cure the metal at an appropriate temperature for the powder material you are using.
Normally the object is heated to 175 to 190°C (350 to 375°F) for about 10 to 15 minutes,
and allowed to cool. The curing oven raises the product mass and coated material to a
specified temperature for a set time.
