ATV plastics

[KnightHawk]

I was wondering if ATV plastic would hold up and not melt in the extreme heat dryer for powder paint. I don't know the temp in the dryer but I know it's hot enough that the metal parts we paint can burn you when it comes out if you tried to hold it. They don't stick rubber plugs in the holes that can't be painted and it isn't melted.

I was thinking if it could hold up to the heat I was gonna take my plastics in and get a nice shiny coat of black. I don't think I want the John Deere green or Caterpillar yellow. Not sure if I'll do it if I could but I'm just thinking about it and wondered.

well i know my powder coating oven gets 300+ and it would melt or dis form most plastics ...

That's what I was thinking. I wasn't sure about ATV plastics.

I would set the oven for 450 for powdercoating

Also most of the.plugs are made of a combo of silicon

I don't get to set any adjustments. The company I work for build Caterpillar parts and John Deere parts and they powder coat them.

I could find out what the oven is set at though. When I go back to work next week.

I used a household 220 electric oven and for say a set of sheetmetal valve covers i would preheat to450 then cooked them for 15 min or so
