Powder-coating a Ford oil pan for a neighbor and thought I'd share a sob story about one bolt getting P/Ced.
# 1 remove bolt # 2 blast bolt clean # 3 preheat bolt @ 250 for 20 mins. to clean grease from pors # 4 wash bolt in lacquer thinner to remove grease # 5 use prep sol to remove lacquer thinner from bolt # 6 use air & tack cloth to clean bolt # 7 wrap bolt with 26 gauge wire for grnd & P/Cing # 8 thread bolt into silcone cup to protect threads # 9 hang bolt from shelf for coating # 10 powder-coat bolt # 11 bake bolt @ 400 for 20 mins. # 12 remove bolt from oven and let dry # 13 remove wire & silicone cup Now this is just one bolt on a oil pan, multiply that by 16 washers and 16 bolts, so the next time someone says that's been P/Ced, you have a small idea of how much work is really involved and thats just in one bolt.
