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 want to do this so bad. Now I dont have a barn, so, been on the back burner. May need to rent shop space again as I need a blaster, too.
This looked like a decent option to make my own. I need one big enough for motorcycle frames. At $250/frame and several project bikes, and no limit on need over my lifetime, seems a no brainer. http://www.homediystuff.com/building-a-diy...filing-cabinet/ |
