A couple of days ago I posted about using an old phone as a ip camera to monitor my powder coating oven temperature. The rims that I was powdercoating are done and I thought I would share the final product, though it didn't turn out great. But at no fault of the phone. :)

Rims are done, or are they? The first group was pretty good, but the second batch didn't turn out so well.

 

There's contaminations from my gloves, the primer clumped up in certain areas, and some spots didn't get covered well. All of these problems are hard to see, especially when mounted, but my tires aren't going to be in stock until a month from now, or MORE!

 

So I am contemplating painting my axle and repainting my rims. Though, these problems are hard to find, so I may just beat them up and repaint the next tire change.

Amazing that you can do this yourself at home!

Very nice

did you build your oven?

Oven looks nice. Did you just use angle iron and such?

I'd be interested to know how long it tool you/what tools you used/how much it cost.

Thanks guys!

 

D Funk Yup. Some pics here:

Taylor Graham I'll be making a video on it, but I basically used sheet metal. I bent/welded 18 gauge into a box, then built a structure around the box out of 22 gauge to hold the insulation.

I am using Eastwood's powder coating gun. Although, given the results, I'm kinda looking elsewhere for a gun. It is way underpowered. 

25 kv just isn't enough on a large rim.

 

I use nitrile gloves. But I had to move the rims in and out of the oven while hot. So I used some welding gloves to handle the the rack attached to the rims. I think the heat caused them to deteriorate a little. I have some better welding gloves on order at a welding supply house, so it shouldn't be a problem on my next powdercoating job.
