[QUOTE="Colliedog, post: 7843523, member: 4877"] I’ve had my own shot blaster for years I have also attached some photos of previous cultivators I have reconditioned so I’m fully aware of the work involved in shot blasting and painting. The plan was to do this myself until I saw the pile of components to be painted. Whilst this really is a small drill my 16ft trailer was filled to the brim with the red parts but this didn’t include the hopper or yellow and black parts which also amounted to another full trailer load! I have started using a local powder coating for other engineering interests and having seen how easy it is to paint on their production line this seemed a much better option. For anyone who hasn’t seen it done the process starts in a heat oven where all components have the original paint burnt off (a huge bonus to anyone who has tried blasting Vaderstad paint in the past!). It is then cleaned in a blast room to remove any residue before a quick coat of etch primer. Everything is put on racks and charged with a negative charge whilst the powder spray gun has a positive charge as the powder is sprayed at the metal parts, the powder flows around the object sticking an even coat all over. The powder is then baked on before being nicely wrapped and returned looking like new. In order to get the correct colours we matched up some new components as well as good examples of the original colours. I always thought Vaderstad changed their red a few years ago as the newer kit is a slightly brighter red than it used to be. An original un-faded part of the drill showed the colour used to be BS 538 where as the new colour is Ral 3002 these colours are quite close but I wanted to keep the original red, seeing as the only new components were coulters and following tines Bs538 is the shade I used. I think there were many different yellows used in the early days but I think it’s signal yellow Ral 1003 used now which is what I used. The black, we used Ral 9005 jet black. To avoid confusion I took the different colours in separately. The yellow and black going first before the first trailer load of red.
