Home Powdercoating and replacement T6 skid plate

[Hole Shot]

I had to manufacture a new skid plate for my winch. I bought my raptor used and the ADD bumper was already installed, lucky me!! But I wanted a winch so I bought a mount and fabricated a new skid plate out of T6 aluminum. I decided to Powdercoat everything a color called anodized blue from prismatic powders. What does everyone think of

the new color.

It does look to match the blue on the fox shocks pretty good

Let see your powder coating setup. Been thinking about starting up a home setup myself for a while I just havent pulled the trigger yet

Yea tips reall stick out. I need some more blue on the sides to tie it all together. I appreciate everyone's honesty. I hate when you wNt a honest answer and people try to be polite. Anyway here are some pics of my oven. I made and wired just about everything. That is a harley road king frame in the oven.

I have more pics but there taking too long to download. Before you go all in on a oven let me tell you that the Powdercoating is the easy part. Stripping and prepping the materials and having a humongous air compressor and the right chemicals are key. I have a 60 gallon 5hp. And it's not enough.

correct me if im wrong but i think you may have the outter two plates on the opposite sides... see in the upper middle part where it looks like its just not a tight fit and at the bottom middle where its a more sharp cut off edge... i would try swapping them aroun and see if the fit is better.

Nope these only go on one way they are not bent perfect from ADD. The bolts seem to suck the aluminum in when tightened down.
