Powdercoating CRAZY!, PICS... very yellow Options

[yarin]

I finally got around to powdercoating some of the parts for my Megasquirt injection conversion. I used a Walmart GE $50 oven and media blasted everything a few weeks ago at my friend's place. Check out the pics. I kind of rushed it, there was some powder left over in the gun from a year ago and I didn't monitor the air compressor pressure close enough. Results are acceptable though (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Took me 3 hours to powder all of this stuff.

I bought the powder and gun from http://www.columbiacoatings.com/ The yellow is super mirrow yellow. I still have to coat the injector brackets, fuel pump bracket, and fuel rails.

I wonder how long powdercoating would last on a set of heat exchangers?

Columbia coatings also has high temp PC that can take about 1K degrees so that stuff shouldn't cook off our exhaust.

yarin, your PC job looks really good. I hope my stuff comes out that nice. I also bought the columbia kit. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
