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 |

I have the Eastwood Hot Coat kit that I got almost 20 years ago, and it works pretty well, but I haven't powder coated things in a while.
I don't remember what temperature I landed on, but the temp recommended with the kit was hotter than need be. Sometimes the most difficult part is getting the "powdered" piece from the spray rack to the oven. If you brush off any powder, it'll leave a bare spot. I use small gas welding rod to make hangers |
