I'm about 3 hours into my first powdercoating adventure. Man, this stuff rocks. Again, Ginter is right. If you have a garage, and don't have your own setup - you might want to rethink that.
My setup from Columbia Coating, including about 8 pounds of various metallics/clears was about 200 bucks. Pam picked up some extra natural corks (because she saw it on American Chopper). They seem to work as well as the synthetic/plastic corks for plugging bolt holes. I will post pictures later... gotta get back out and monitor temps. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

Thanks, everyone, for the compliments.
If you were closer.. sure, Sean. It's not difficult, but does have a brief learning curve. The Heater was a b-day present (early) from Pam. Total cost: tools, powder, prep chemicals: about 300.00, with LOTS of powder left over. I used about a pound of smoke chome, and less than a pound of clear. The cost doesn't include stripping/media blasting the parts. |
