Im going to try and powder-coat my FAST 102 of course after I practice alot. But was wondering if somone would be so kind and could get me a link or a write-up on how to powder-coat plastic. Any help is appreciated guys, thanks alot, john

 

you have to use a special low temp powder!

 

I do a lot of powder coating and have yet to powder coat plastic. I didn't know it could be done. I don't think it can because the part has to be grounded to accept the charge powder. Seems like even if you could do it you would get a lot of static pop. I am going to say it can't be done. If it can, I'm interested too.

 

It has been done many times, theirs a guy on here and a few other forums that does it. Ive seen hisbwork and hes does a great job

 

I've seen online search results for places that do it. It can be done but I have no clue as to the process.

 

I am going to have to look into that.

 

This is who powder coats plastic. I've seen many great reviews of people who've had work done by him on a few sites

I think they heat it up first, then spray it on since it cant be charged for the powder to stick like it would on metal.

 

It can be done. Low temp powdercoat. My ls6 intake is coated

 

i heard UV lights is what is used?? Also i believe static charge builds up pretty well on plastic.

 

I know this is an old thread, but I just ran across it.

I found this video on youtube. He talks about low temp coatings for plastic, and he shows how he coated a clay pot with a custom color he mixed.

I just ordered a Craftsman powder coating gun off of Amazon for $40. I got this one because it doesn't need air from my compressor. I got a toaster over for $10 and I'm going to try my hand at powder coating. Next is a sandblasting setup

Edit: Found this also

why not just have it prepped and painted?

 

Very good info here guys.

 

That's pretty interesting. I never thought plastic could be powder coat. I wonder how much it would cost to get my intake done.
