toadfrog Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm coming up on a sort of a pain project . I have to Paint a lot of spoons . Now this is normally no problem . This time though I have strict quality issues . Lately I seem to be suffering from brain block . So I'm asking for help from the great thinking guru's here . Here is the problem . I need to do about 100 at a time both sides and keep them from moving while I spray . Then at the same time I need to keep the holes in the spoon clear of paint. Next I need the rack/holder to be heat resistant and one that powder will not load up on when cured . I will be using an electrostatic spray gun . Toss something at me guy's . Any thoughts suggestions ANYTHING might help me break this brain block I have . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atijigs Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 No worries. By using and electrostatic spray gun the paint will not clog up the holes at all. The gun just puffs out powder so there will be no movement either. I would suggest Christmas tree ornament hangers for your spoons. Very light wire and will leave only a tiny defect where the wire actually touches the spoon. You will need more than one rack to hang them on. After painting them transfer them to a clean rack. There will be no paint drip so other than any paint that got on the hanger there will be no paint on your curing rack. You can wipe off the hanger so you have no paint on your curing rack. The powder painted first rack just rinse off with water. End result is two clean racks, uniformly painted spoons and a happy customer. It sounds simple and it is along as there is no breeze whatsoever. If you have the rack on something you can turn you can get full coverage easier. You are going about it the right way. When you transfer them to the curing rack be sure to inspect for full coverage. If you missed any spots hit it again. The paint will only adhere to non painted surfaces. Good luck. I hope this helps.

toadfrog Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 That is along the line I was trying to form in my head . I think you broke my brain drain . Lazy Susan turn style with removable sections for transfer and ease of cleaning . I think a trip to the scrap yard is in order . For me it beats heck out of Disney Land .
