Powdercoating anyone?

Hopefully enough. I glass bead everything. When I did the calipers I took them completely apart and put old used pistons in for "plugs" and taped them in so to keep powder out of the seal groove.
If I don't get to coat something right away after blasting sometimes I have to put the part(s) back in the cabinet and hit them again right before I coat them.... Not always. I've had stuff sit over the winter and be fine. and I had stuff that flash rusted in a couple of days between blasting and coating. I blow everything off just before coating, and sometimes I wipe it down with Eastwood's "pre" cleaner. On those calipers or anything else that "lives" in oil, brake fluid, etc I toss in the oven and bake until the parts quit smoking then I know I ve gotten the oil etc out of the pores.
