Powder Coating provides 
a premium coating ideal 
for many automotive, 
marine, home, and garden 
applications. 

Eastwood’s 

HotCoat

®

 Powder Coating 

System

 is a breakthrough 

refinishing system for the 
home hobbyist providing 
professional performance 
at a fraction of the cost of 
industrial equipment. The 
cured finish resists most 
chemicals, fuels, acids, 
thinners, brake fluid, UV 
light, and is much more 
durable than liquid coatings (up to ten times). Powder coating is environmentally 
friendly! It produces no toxic wastes and uses no solvents. The 

Eastwood 

HotCoat

®

 PowderCoat System

 allows you to coat a part and return it to service 

in less than an hour! Now you can powder coat any metal part that can withstand 
the 400˚F (204˚C) cure temperature utilizing an electric oven or our Infrared Light 
Cure System.

DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL DIRECTIONS 
BEFORE PROCEEDING!

 The power supply is a sealed unit and contains

no user serviceable parts! Contact with the emitter will result in an unpleasant 
shock! To eliminate the shock hazard, touch the emitter to the ground clip after 
each use. 

(If you have a medical condition or pacemaker check with your 

doctor before using.)

Danger: High Voltage!

Flammability Hazard

Powder coating dust, like common household dust, when confined and 
suspended in air, poses a fire and potential explosion hazard if ignited. Good 
housekeeping, adequate ventilation, dust control and isolation from potential 
ignition sources is required! Sweep up unused powder 
from the floor.

 Do not vacuum unless the vacuum is 

equipped with an explosion-proof motor. Never smoke 
while powder coating.  Do not apply powder coat near 
any source of ignition, e.g. open flames, sparks, etc. 
Use the same precautions that you would for liquid 
solvent based coatings. DO NOT USE A GAS OVEN!

Contact with the emitter will 
result in an unpleasant shock. 

DO NOT TOUCH 
THE EMITTER BEFORE 
CONTACTING IT TO 
THE GROUND CLIP!

CAUTION

Read and understand all instructions and precautions before proceeding. 

This unit uses high voltage as well as powder which may become flammable 

under certain circumstances. Eastwood shall not be held liable 

for consequences due to deliberate or unintentional misuse of this product.

Safety Tip For Coating Internal Surfaces!

When coating internal areas such as boxes, tubing, etc., apply powder in 
stages so that a dense dust cloud will not form. Coat small areas at a time and 
allow cloud to dissipate before moving to next area. DO NOT TOUCH EMITTER 
TO OBJECT! This will create a spark which may ignite dust cloud.
