Some of my work. (Powder Coating)

[harlequin80]

Dude what you want is the gun. It is incredible. I shot 8 Rs faces in 5 minutes

Im happy with the hyper smooth for now. I would be REALLY happy with it if I could figure out why I cant get 2nd coats to stick when the part is cold.

I think next yr im buying a powder booth and 4x4x6 oven. I want to venture into other stuff than car wheels. I think im going to build a custom motorcycle in my spare time and do all of it in powder. I just bought a bmx frame to build to so I can show that off whenever I go to places and set up.

A lot of people don't realize you can do stuff like that, they thought it was for like car parts and stuff.

Sparkle silver, polished lip and then cleared the entire wheel.

[harlequin80]

Tom, you polish the lips yourself? I worry about getting a nice straight line that's why I don't do it. I gotta get more confidence in myself

[tomespo]

Honestly I wouldn't take on a job Like that. My co-worker did. We have two guys that do the polishing. 15hp dual motors. It's really not worth the time IMO plus you know how expensive the tape is.

[tomespo]

Mirror Black G55 parts. Did the whole front push bar too but its all wrapped up already.

[groundupjetta]

Awesome work bro

[tomespo]

[tomespo]

Some more photos.

[tomespo]

Bunch of new stuff..

[harlequin80]

Awesome stuff man. Stayin busy.

Makin me feel like giving up hahaha

[tomespo]

Thanks dude. Don't give up. It takes time to build up clients.

[harlequin80]

Yeah....sucks though because so many people around here are picking up doing it. I know of 2 other people within 30 minutes of me and thats not including the shops.

Seems like a majority of them only care about price and not the quality. Oh well. Leaves me to do more of what I want than have to I guess. Now if only I could get everything working 100% like it should I could get into doing some crazier stuff. Ive been talking to a guy that has a shop in Utah and he does some amazing stuff and has been trying to help but I need someone to actually come and see if its me, the equipment or what. I've tried as much trouble shooting as I can and still can't get it 100%

[tomespo]

Dude come to my shop one day if you want. You have my number

[tomespo]

Aviator grey wheels for my friends evo.

[DetectiveCoating]

Sick work and great pictures Tom! Keep it up!!

[tomespo]

I've really been slacking on the photos. Since I moved into a shop I rarely bring my good camera to work and I rather not post cell phone photos. Gunmetal with clear on the AMG wheels and 20% gloss black beetle parts.

[einarborg]

WoW just WOW...

I just wish we had some one hear in Iceland that was this good at powder coat

Good work!!!

[tomespo]

Sorry I've really been slacking on the photos. Finally getting my OWN shop, no partners this time. I will just be able to leave my camera there and bring my laptop every day to take some good quality photos not cell phone pictures like im going to post now :lol: .. Wait until you guys see photos of the shop 8-)

[71DubBugBug]

great work!

question, I notice a lot of powder coaters and painters use hooks to hang things up while they are baking

how do you make sure they dont leave spots that have not been coated?

[prom king]

If you don't mind me asking, I'm just starting up.
Where do you get your powder from?
Do you have a jobber?

[tomespo]

I get it from a bunch of different companies not just one.

[tomespo]

Fresh!

[harlequin80]

You do polishing to?

[wagner17]

to im looking to get bolts re plated chrome can you do that?

[tomespo]

Yes we do polishing and we can have the bolts chrome plated hoever it is NOT done in house.

[tomespo]

[harlequin80]

[arethirdytwo]

[.:R Driven]

Barrels that were shipped to me from WI because the customer was not happy with the first time he had them powder coated by someone locally.

Silver with Mirror Clear

Do you have anymore shots of the Mirror Clear over silver. How is this clear compae to other clear in your opinion.

[.:R Driven]

Yeah....sucks though because so many people around here are picking up doing it. I know of 2 other people within 30 minutes of me and thats not including the shops.

I'm in Silver Spring, MD and I'm looking to get 4 BBS RC done in a bring silver and clear. I am willing to ship else where though because I want quality work.
