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 |

Oscar,
I have used Blue M Ovens at my plastic factories for 35 years. I used an old Pizza oven from the out of business Brown Derby restaurant for a while. Temperature control is very important. The base of the Blue M is a huge coil making the heat and a ½ HP motor blowing the air over the coil. Temperature control turning the heat on and off. Do not forget the paint in the conversion is giving off flammable Vapors. The last Blue M I bought on EBay was cheap but I had to go through it as it did not work right. My current oven set up is inside 26” x 21” x 21” and the outside is 40” x 29” x 49” 220 volts. More than happy to go over what I know of industrial ovens. There is a learning curve on all things. Always happy to help if I can Best regards, Bob B |
