(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.

Eastwood Hotcoat Powders 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.
New to powder coating? Our YouTube channel has a large playlist of powder coating videos that how to apply powder to different parts and what other equipment you might need. Our tech team is also available seven days a week by phone or email with free expert advice and solutions.

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.

The process was simple, easy to apply and bake!
It is fast and works better than advertised.
It has worked the first time and every time to apply base white, jet black and chrome.

Great gun after simple upgrades
Great powder coat gun. A little slower to powder than super expensive guns but gets the job done and looks the same as parts powdered by our powder coating service. We added a bunch of upgrades and highly recommend checking out the upgrades here:

Quality purchase
So I'm pretty new to powder coating, but, it's easy to say I'm pleasantly surprised and happy with my purchase of the pcs-250. I have two small gripes about it, one I wish the cords were longer, and the other is if you fill the cup halfway or more. The powder comes out to heavy and not consistent. If you keep the cup under half full, it sprays powder evenly and super consistent. Overall I super happy with my purchase so far I've had nothing but good results and experiences with it. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to get into powder coating.

Outstanding
I have used this powder coating gun for at least 10 years. Single voltage and dual voltage. It has served me well. Does an excellent job. I believe no need for the more expensive unit. The dual voltage unit has stopped working after 10 years, so got my value out of it, hence the replacement. It is really good value at the price.

Beyond expectations
This worked great! I wasn't sure it was, as there are no indicator lights, but getting the electrode too close to the work gave out a nice reassuring spark. Super easy cleanup compared to regular guns, and having the finished job tack free and ready to go as soon as it cools is tremendous. Happily I had an extra old stove for an oven, so easy setup. Love the low air requirements. The accessories kit was very complete and got me up and running fast.

Absolutely one of the best tools I've ever bought, super easy to use and also fun as hell to do. Have powdered so many parts on my hot rod in the past couple weeks it's ridiculous the money I've saved by doing it myself. If you don't have one you really should buy one you'd be doing yourself a favor

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

how to bake motorcycle frame?after powder coating?

Can you do two coats with this gun? A base coat and then a top coat?
On small parts yes this is possible. You would use the low voltage for the original coat and then the higher voltage for the second.

The PCS-150 is a single 15.000 volt max and the PCS-250 has the new and improved dual-voltage system that gives you the capability to coat small areas using the low 15,000 v setting or coat large areas using the high-voltage setting 25,000 v.

The details section says to cure the coating in an electric oven. Is there something special about using electric VS a gas oven.
Powder coating is a flammable substance and should not be cured in a gas oven. The electric heating element of a standard electric stove works great.

sprays powder everywhere whenever I hook the air up to it. The handle doesn't have any effect on how much powder sprays out of it; it just starts when the air is hooked up and ends when I disconnect it.
You most likely hooked your 150+ psi air hose directly to the gun, effectively breaking it. The gun should be hooked up to no more than 10 psi of pressure, as noted in all of the instructions that come with it (pretty sure it comes with a r. Source: I made this mistake and broke my gun.

Yes, you can use this to apply powder to truck wheels/rims. If applying more than one coat- you may need to use the hot flocking method to get the second coat the adhere because of voltage limitations.

What’s the difference between the old Eastwood gun and the newest updated gun?
The new Powder coating gun is an improved and more durable unit. It has a newly designed handle that creates more room for your fingers as well as more room to mount the bottle. There is a new larger ground clamp. The internal passages have been increased in size the improve powder flow out and the new bottle is clear so you can more easily see the powder color and level.

It appears in videos you are supposed to attach the diverter tip specifically for low voltage, 15Kv setting (responsible for corners and crevices), but why? Why is diverter tip required for 15Kv? Why can't it be used for 25Kv setting also? Explain purpose
The diverter can be used on either setting. it is designed to created a gentle cloud of powder around the piece with out blowing the powder off. when you remove the diverter you have a greater possibility of over powdering or blowing the powder off.

how can i cure the powder paint without a oven? for example a car frame is too large to cure in a oven
Eastwood has these glow like heaters where you can do a large frame. A friend of mine did his frame for his GTO, and he used stainless bolts and nuts. He drives it all summer long, here in Northern Michigan. And it looks like the very same day he done it. So you’ll need to check out Eastwood’s Ovens that will do sections of your frame at a time. Go to there powder coating section and you just might see these bake powder coating units.
