Ok I stuck them in like a cake I did not wait for them to get to temp then start timer. They were clean.To light or to heavy of a coating or not cured enough. Most of the powders are around a 15 min cure at 400 degrees. You got to get the part up to 400 before starting the timer. Wrinkle finishes usually don't wrinkle till the end of curing. Might try re-baking them. Most powders also have 100% over bake capability. If you have an IR gun, shoot them to get the surface temp. Oil on the part can cause it to not wrinkle also.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please share.
Well can't argue with the quality part. They are rated for 9900lbs each so well under what the winches can put out or the rope rating.Use a quality forged hook and dont un-forge it by baking it.
If u get up to cullman during the week bring parts and powder and I'll have my guys coat them.Ok I stuck them in like a cake I did not wait for them to get to temp then start timer. They were clean.
Need a different oven then may try rebaking them.
Where I had the pod lights mounted either side of the light bar was worthless. I saw several people with them mounted behind the B pillar and some as far back as the C pillar. I pulled my 7” rear light bar off and freed up a circuit that was almost never used and I mounted them off the rear seatbelt bracket.They work better here I may upgrade the lights themselves later.

Do you have a farther back view of this. Curious about changing mine as well to provide better lighting. where I have mine are OK, but not as good as I would like
Curious what it looks like from farther away, and what you attached the bracket to. I would think that location would provide better lighting for the driver looking sideways, considering doing that to mine as wellWhat do you want to see of the mounting point I’ll take a pic

The powder coat did alright but I think the mini oven I was using did not maintain a good even temp. Some of the black are glossy when they should be a wrinkle finish and the red didn’t wrinkle at all, meaning they didn’t do what the rest did. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please share. This was my first rodeo. I think I have found a $25 CList oven to use for powdercoat.
Do you have a parts list for these?After seeing all the whips through dust and trees I am sold on their usefulness on night rides. I still think they look stupid but if they work, they work.
I wasn’t paying $300 for a set so I got on Amazon and picked up the parts and pieces for about $80, and an hours worth of work. I COULD have saved about $30 but I wanted them to be installed/removed in less than a couple mins and looking back that could have been accomplished a slightly different, and $30 cheaper way.
I have them wired with a 3-wire weatherproof connector that I can seal off when they aren’t mounted.
Only going to use them if night riding or daughter wants them on, she thinks they are “awecool”. I’ll take her thinking dad is cool as long as I can get it even if I’m really not.

Looks under cured. Pick up a used electric house oven. I never got good results with the toaster style ovens. If the cure time is 12min at 400* PMT I normally add at least 5-10min to compensate for part temp. The hook being so thick you may need to add additional time for it to reach temp. You can try re-baking the parts and if that doesnt work grab some aircraft stripper or the spray stripper Walmart carries and give it another go.
I also like to use acetone to clean before then hit the part with a small map torch torch to rid of any moisture, oils, or fibers left over from towels etc. If you have any questions text me
Heres a wrinkle black over gloss black RTIC I did for a guy last week. The gloss I did a partial cure of 9min then the wrinkle I did 16min.

I picked mine up in harpersville off the let it go app.That’s what I was thinking was under cooked, and I have been looking for a CList oven, keep finding them cheap in N AL but around here people want a premium. So I tried a mini oven....

Thank ya sir!Already had some of these for another project, could hardwire or wrap/seal the connectors that come with it.

I used a flag and wrapped black rubber tape around it, I should've used a CB antenna. Would've saved time and money.
