Have you heard of Bodykleen by PPG?
Jim – Thanks so much for posting this.I am in the process of building a
cooler stereo and have 2 questions for you.
1.) I am using some plastic kitchen cutting boards as dividers on the
inside and want to paint them. Will this process help with adhesion
of the paint?
2.) I will be painting the rubbermaid cooler split lid to resemble my State
Flag. To prep it, will this process work as well?
Thanks for the fantastic info.
Do you personally charge more or the same for a part that needs to be flame
treated?
Fascinating vid I’d never heard of this method previous to.
does wax and grease remover do the same thing? (multiple times over)
What’s your thoughts on plastic gas tanks and painting them, same method.
They are made of polyethylene.
Hey I’m having a hat time treating a Yeti cooler it’s made of PE, I heard
that’s harder to treat, any suggestions. I have been flame treating it…
So you prep via this method and then use some kind of primer. Do the
resulting primer and paint have to be plastic specific?
Fantastic video Jim,
Would I use the same process for painting fender flares??
Not sure if the material is the same type plastic as body parts?
So fire method..then use an adhesion promoter…then it be ok to paint
assess? Then clear coat after
for industrial painting on PUR: first MIPA P85 and than treating with a
fueller, and then primering, and then again checking for small holes whcih
you have to level again withe mipa and fueller. PUR is a trying plastic
toi pâint!!! do you have recommendations for the holes you see once
painted?
5 years in the plastic sheet fabrication industry and this is irrevocably the
information i needed on poly plastics like polypropylene. thank you Jim.
hey Jim i need to camo my kayak for duck hunting but the spray-paint keeps
falling off. the kayak is made out of polyethylene, will this technique
work
So do ABS plastic pieces not need to be heat-treated? I’m painting a
computer case. Please and thank you :D
how will this work on kayaks since they flex in the water?
Hey jim new to hydro-dipping ok at it got jobs anyway. How do you know when
a plastic part needs to b flame treated. One of my jobs is the engine
cover, strut covers and header panel fillers on assign 06 charger should
those b flame treated? Thanks Terry S.
do you have any excellent recommendations for a spray paint can on polyurethane
that has been heat treated I’m early out small so I do not yet have an
air compresser and airgun yet… I’m dipping a Yeti cooler lid in
camouflage.
Thanks!
Thanks Jim for another helpful video. It was nice hanging out at your shop
today. Using the Iwata guns I bought from you this Monday when I get my
paint in from OHW. Thanks again!!!
I dont have the money to go buy a $200 set on fire like the one you are using. Do
you reckon a hair dryer twisted on high heat would work as long as I see the
plastic change affect?
Jim how do I find out what plastic I’m heat treating. I have several under
hood plastic pieces I’m doing in my tank. Might be the ABS.
Is this a excellent thought for a power wheels? Wondering if im ok to just use
adhesion promoter then krylon fusion, sure would be a lot of work, but if
its going to be surpass in the long run, then I will do it.
is the same method of prepping in this video also used on prepping
polyurethane?
I use a heat gun for restoring my bumper, would that work on this instead
of a flame ?
Thanks man!
Are you using enamel for your base/clear? Assuming this is a hydro dip.
If so, from a gun or can?
