did the rear blinkers, up next is the fender support and suspension.

 

Signals look good. They don't take much powder to flow nice and smooth. I'm an aspiring coater as well, still trying to find a gloss black that I consider my "go to black."

 

I don't have anything to compare it too, but I plan on using this black for all my parts

 

I use Gloss black from Prismatic powders.
I would consider the gloss to be on the high side. 75% + gloss.

I used Alien silver on my belt buckle.

 

I've been using midnight black II, and mirror black both seem to be good blacks. Still having a bit of trouble with orange peel on larger pieces like tanks sheet metal.

 

Do you preheat your parts?

It helps with powder adhesion. It will gel up once it hits the surface, therefore you can add heavier coats. Too much is not good, trial and error.

I "read" that if you know what temp your powder starts to flow out, you can keep the oven at that temp and keep it there so the powder has more time to level itself out and then you can up the temp to allow the full cure to take place.

Im doing my headlight tonight. Its paint right now. Gonna sand blast her nice and good, scotch bright a bit, pre heat to outgas, re clean, pre heat, then spray, then cure. Post pictures tomorrow.

 

Nice job man
