FAQs

(Q) How long does the baking process take?
(A) For improved flow out (less "orange peel"), bake coated parts at 500 degreesF until powder flows out (about 3-4 minutes for light sheet metal parts), then turn down the heat to 400 degreesF for a full 15 minutes.

(Q) What are the electrical requirements?
(A) This HotCoat Gun requires 110-125VAC, 2 amps at 50-60 Hz. Can be used with a voltage transformer such as 220-240VAC to 110-125VAC as long as the transformer can handle 2 amps.

Safety Information

Use a disposable dust mask when handling or applying powder. Powder, like common flour, can be explosive when suspended in the air in high concentrations. To minimize any explosion risk, sweep up—do not vacuum—powder from the floor. Cure powder in a well-ventilated area. The urethane powders we sell liberate a very minute amount of isocyanates when the powder flows out. This usually occurs about 3-5 minutes after the part is placed in the oven to bake. Wear a respirator with fresh filter cartridges when curing or inspecting flow-out progress.

Application Tips

Why Powder Coat? What are the Advantages of Powder Coating?

The PCS-250 Dual-Voltage HotCoat gun is one of the best powder coating guns on the market today. Why powder coat? Because it gives you one of the most economical, color-durable and longest-lasting finishes available. You'll find powder coated surfaces are far more resistant to chipping, scratches, fading, and wear than other finishes, and the color selection is virtually unlimited, with high and low gloss, metallic, and clear finishes available. And thanks to the UV resistance of many of the powders, colors stay bright and vibrant longer.

Texture selections range from smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matte finish, plus rough textures designed for hiding surface imperfections. One 8 oz. bottle of powder (not included) covers the same area as 2-3 cans of spray paint, and clean-up is easy since you can simply sweep-up the over-sprayed powder. This powder can be reused as well if it's not contaminated. Eastwood powders contain no environmentally harmful solvents so you can be planet-conscious as well. HotCoat powder coating requires a 5-10 psi compressed air source and a dedicated electric oven (or toaster oven).

Can I Powder Coat in My Own Garage or Shop?

Owning a dual-voltage electric powder coating gun means you can apply this technique to springs, valve covers, tri-flow radiators, vehicle body panels and anything else that needs a quality finish. One quick-change empty powder bottle is included and you can easily add more. The tool is designed to our exact specifications with a handheld activation switch, air inlet, removable diverter tip and grounding system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dual voltage is the way to go When you can get the doable b**** done on sale it is absolutely the best deal out there. Even if you paid full price the gun is excellent for the home hobbyist powder coater. I will say first thing I did was take the diverter off the end as it ends to put out too much of a cloud. I use a low pressure regulator to tune in the pressure and I also have a Bank of filters on my compressor to really dry the air. If the air is not dry you're going to have problems with powder coating. Since I code a lot of yard tools I like a very heavy coating so I typically preheat the The project after it has been thoroughly cleaned. The powder starts to flow on contact and I can tell that I am going to get a full thick coating. The dual voted scone does everything I needed to do and I recommend product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from PCS 250 review Being new to the powder coating world, I did research, and found this gun was the biggest bang for my buck. Have used it, and it is simple, and foolproof-just the way I like things! Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Only lasted ten years The little dual vote voltage switch on the front of the control box broke. I tried to fix it, but I couldn't. The entire gun wouldn't turn on after that. If the switch was still good, the gun probably worked fine.The little plastic switches a little bit chincy it only lasted ten years. No replacement parts available. Tried to replace it with a harbor freight powder coat gun. The gun was so bad I took it back. Eastwood powder coat gun had me spoiled.

Questions & Answers

Do you need a G4 filter for this? I can only find MERV rated filters and I am not sure if those are right. Also if the more available MERV filters work, which rating is best and do you still need to spray the Hot COat Tack Spray?

Asked by: HCodi
I guess I will have to answer my own question since no one did. Upon some research it looks like either Merv 7 or Merv 8 are a good replacement for G4.

Has anyone tried using this dual voltage powder gun to powder coat lead cast projectiles? I've had decent success coating them using the wet method but this would be WAY simpler... IF it works better to coat leadcast projectiles

Asked by: KingD
Yes! I use this almost exclusively for powder coating cast bullets. I made a 10" x 12" " 1+1/2" high wooden stand, with 18" hardware cloth on top to place the bullets on, allowing the PC to flow around the bullets. I stand them all upright. The bases do not get much PC, but the sides and top are outstanding. I shoot a lot of pistol.competition, and I find this eliminates the need for the traditional grease lube.

Would a small toaster oven work for curing or does it need a large house hold oven… I don’t have room in my garage for a large oven. Also don’t have an extra 220v plug. What temps does the oven need to hit?

Asked by: Troy
A small toaster oven will work 400 degrees to totally cure

Do you have transformer so I can use Eastwood PCS-250 Dual Voltage Powder Coating Gun on 230v in Norway?

Asked by: Hans_Kr
Have you tried to build a motor generator? You take 230vac 50hz motor and use it to drive 220vac 60hz motor. The motor speeds need to be identical. The 60hz motor has to draw more current than you need. We in the us use this method to drive 3 phase equipment with only single phase is available. The key is to find a 110/220vac 60hz motor that has the amperage you need. Most motors are like a transformer. They don’t care which direction the current flows.  You can take a step up transformer and hook it up with the output voltage and her step down voltage going out. Problem is your neutral comes from the actual input side. So if you take a 3phase 120/208 to 480vav transformer there is no way to get 277vac because of no neutral. I probably confused the heck out of you. You need to get an ac motor that takes 120/220 vac to run it and hook another motor to drive the first motor. As long as the first motor is rated at the current draw you need then the input wires to that motor become output vac to power the different vac/hz device.

I recently bought the PCS-250 dual voltage and was wondering if the voltage toggle switch it supposed to light up when pressing the button? On my PCS-150 there is a red light that comes on which indicates charging gun when the button is pressed.

Asked by: BoltOn Mounts
From a user standpoint, the toggle switch should be an illuminated switch to show when it is plugged in and your are getting power, but unfortunately they did not put one on these. A huge overlook in my opinion.

Does this new model fix the blow-by the old bottle had where it leaks since there is no seal?

Asked by: Anon
Nope. There is no seal on this one either. They should have an o-ring in place where the bottle screws onto the gun. Mine is nearly brand new and the first thing I noticed was how much powder is leaking out of the bottle threads. Sadly, this is one of many places for obvious improvement on this gun.
