I just got me a powder coating system, I bought the craftsman setup, don't need a compressor to run the gun. I dedided to coat my spare wheel for my spare tire. Never done this before but it seems straight forward and pretty easy. The hardest part is preparing the piece to be coated.

Anyway heres some pics. of the process

The wheel all masked off ready to take some powder
