What are these for? I’d love to mount some on my 3d printer and robotic arm.

How does the application and curing process work? What kind of prep does the surface to be coated require?
What all equipment is needed? Is it toxic during curing?
Shit, I need to just research this more.
Imagine being able to really customize all the metal components on a high end build.

Why not use a powder coating setup. It is surprisingly cheap to get into if you have a compressor and a toaster oven. Not sure how it compares to cerakote but it holds up well.

It tends to chip where screws are, but other then that it works well. I have a set of @akhlut motor mounts that are powder coated in matte black.

Rocks from the road will chip it too. Would be intersting to see how much better some of these firearm coatings do. There is an outfit north of me that specializes in a coating similar to cerakote and I have been tempted to utilize them on some projects.
The freak in me is tempted to thin some epoxy and tint it with pigment. Just need something to take the shine out so it would cure in satin or matte.
@Colson003 is it a 2 part coating, does it use a catalyst…?

Powder Coating adds a good bit thicker layer than cerakote I think.
And cerakote is more resilient

Anodizing and or cerakote seem to be the way forward.

Whenever I hear of an indestructible finish I always think to myself, “you better get a can of hope and dreams too!” but my friends fancy piece still look fresh. Maybe he will let me strap it to the bottom of my board for a day?
Ok. Lots of questions to answer. @Sender
Application just involves a low pressure spray gun. 2 light coats is all it takes.
Curing is simply cooking in an oven at 300 degrees Farenheit for 45 minutes.
Prep work is sandblasting followed by being wiped down with acetone.
I cant imagine that it’s toxic during curing. Then again, its in an oven.
Equipment; low pressure spray gun, beakers/syringes to accurately measure catalyt to the cerakote, oven.
@chaka yes its a two part coating, more catalyst makes the end result …glossier? Less catalyst takes longer to cure and has more of a flatter finish.
Yeah powdercoating adds significantly more to the surface as compared to Cerakote which barely makes a difference when it comes to the inner workings of the action in a firearm. That is why we use it.

These Razor wheels are dope. I love them. I wish the company that made these would mill them to fit regular skateboard trucks.
@akhlut is there anyway you can make the x washer, with a hex hole? so it could hold a hex nut without turning?
