I just got me a powder coating system, I bought the craftsman setup, don't need a compressor to run the gun. I dedided to coat my spare wheel for my spare tire. Never done this before but it seems straight forward and pretty easy. The hardest part is preparing the piece to be coated.
Anyway heres some pics. of the process The wheel all masked off ready to take some powder Attached image(s) |

The most difficult part of setting your system up is getting an oven to dedicate to power coating. I wish I had 220V in my garage. You don't want the oven in your house, the fumes are BAD.
Ok... that is 2nd on the list. First is cleaning your material, getting rid of all the crud. Sandblasting works wonderfully once the material has been scrubbed down. |
