That is a great idea for a largish powder coat cabinet.

Well...here's some pictures of my first attempt. Now I have to mount my tires back. SIGNAL ORANGE. I should have cleared them. A little orange peel but okay for me.

Used: Red Line EZ50 Gun, Lab Metal (nick filler), 2010 Signal Orange powder.
Cured @ 380 deg (Part Temp) for 15 min.

A bit messy...next time I'm wearing ear plugs.

Would love to do a set of wheels or two in that Gold anodized look if that's possible with powder.

Oscar, some of that orange peel may be from too low of heat and not long enough cure time.

IIRC you have a higher heat until the powder flows, then down a bit for 20 min or so, bigger items may take longer....

As for the gold wheels, I’ve been contemplating doing that with a set of cookie cutters... love that look...

NO business....just something I wanted to try. So far I have $850 into my set up and was quoted $450 to powdercoat my stuff so maybe not too smart...

It pays off over time. It’s very convenient to be able to coat a couple pieces as you need them and install the same day vs sending them out.

Amortize. The more you use it the cheaper it gets.
I have to say it, the DYS attitude of the people in this forum is inspiring. From fabrication, to powder coating and cad plating, I am impressed.
I am in the processes of restoring an E-Type and will have a fair amount of coating and plating to get done. Threads like this one makes me want to do it my self. At least try anyway.
Great work people.
