Other Home Oven powder coating???

[CarterB]

ive used the harbor freight gun for years and at $50 and basically free replacement at anytime policy. a lot of ovens have the ability to use Propane or Natural gas which is way cheaper than electric if you get addicted to powder coated everything you own as for powder, i go to my local powder coating shop and buy from them usually costs about $5/lb. They dont like to use powder thats more than 6 months old where i go and usually will give me that stuff free by the boxes ! sandblasting is not necessary but having a clean surface is. sandblasting is just the most efficient way to clean and strip metal items that are nasty or painted.

I would think if you have a lot of small parts to be coated it would be a way cheaper option than having someone else do it.

I got the Eastwood kit a few months ago, it works pretty well. Hindsight, i would've gone for the dual voltage version.

I built a rollaround for $50 that holds an oven i got for free, with a table top for coating and pillars for hanging. 30ft 220 extension cord and im mobile. For $150 total invested, i've coated exhausts, manifolds, bottle openers, car engine parts, pump parts, and im doing my carbs right now. 1 is done, looks real nice.

I dont quite get professional results every time, but im getting better each time. Great thing to have for these aluminum beasts.
