Chris,

They look great! I've always wondered how well the "do it yourself" powdercoat systems work - you've now inspired me to get one to do mine !!!!

Chris, well done. I did not know the process was that simple.

If I ship you my calipers, would you do them for me?

Toga

Thanks for all the infos Chris.

I'm checking if they are available in 220/50hz, or I'll by a transformer.
How much powder did you need for all four callipers? And is their red corresponding to the porsche one?

Monique, I know Techart in Stuttgart is doing that job too, and they can put a Porsche or a Techart sticker. It's probably closer for you...but if I don't remember the cost, I remember it was expensive!

Cheers

Chris
did you put clearcoat on a top of stickers ?

Flying Finn

I need mine done, "Porsche" text is very yellow (heat from track use can not be the reason) and I have couple of small spots where coating has peeled off.

You have PM Chris!

I am currently checking into clear powdercoating over the finished caliper. I will let you know.

The color is just a brilliant, shiny red that Columbia offers. You do go through a fair amount of powder, as most of it ends up on the floor

Chris, I'm close to buy a basic powder gun kit. But I'll need a transformer 110/220.

Could you tell me how many "Watts" is the power of the system?
Did you have enough with 1/2lb of powder for the 4 calipers?

Thanks for help

Did you buy the Chicago powder coating machine?

Thanks!

chris walrod

Yes, the kit I have is the Chicago model 42802. It doesnt say on the label what wattage is it. Hope this helps..

chris walrod

JP, I used a little more than a half pound of powder for four calipers. I did practice on a small piece of tube steel, but that didnt take much powder at all.

Very pretty.

The seals did not mind being baked at 400F?

Chris,
Any chance you want to get hired on my cup wheels. I would like them powdered!!!
