Well, after getting quotes on powder coating three sets of rims and misc suspension components I've decided to do my own powder coating. I've seen lots of YouTube videos but wanted some feedback from someone already doing this. Please share any tips.
My oven is 20 W x 24 D x 30 H so I'm thinking going with dual voltage Eastwood gun set up. If I get decent at this, perhaps we can have a SoCal powder coating tech day in the near future. Any interest? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Oscar  |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I still have my toaster. Always look at the idea of building a bigger unit. Rack wheels in, and hangs the parts.
If your using a blast cabinet, make sure it is clean, the cheap units are coated in something, that when it gets into the doors of your metal, it will come back out in your coat. I know people say clean clean clean, and that is true true true. But heavy cast parts will hide some indignities that you might not even find after several wipe downs. For that reason, any part that I really care about the final appearance I will pre heat and out gas. Sometimes I will go for a really long time on the out gassing process. Pull clean, and redo. Nice setup you will enjoy it. Then you will want a larger unit for the odd ball items like a sway bar. Valance, rockers, etc...... |
