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)
