I've seen that and a couple other home brews. If you have the time to put it togeather it would work great. Just make sure you Seal the powder container well.

| Powder Coat
I saw a small job kit on one of the car shows, they painted a air cleaner. I thnk it was but I'm not sure, My Classic Car. I would be alot easier to find that kit. It seemed to work well. Have you googled powder coating  |

If you make your own gun what do you use to "charge" the object being coated.? I have the Harbor Freight system and it works great! Was only $70.

for powdercoating a small tuber i would get it professionaly done. something that small isn't going to cost much. i got my whole banshee frame done for 300. its alot easier to just pay up then trying to put together some makeshift homebrewer and have it not work right

I have a system similar to this one but it has an adjustable volatge. They work great and but the only real problem I have run in to is prep work. Make sure it is cleaned properly and also I have noticed it does alot better with a roughed up surface. A sand blaster is next on my list!

If anyone is interested, the Harbor Freight powder coater will be on sale when their next sale starts Aug. 11th. I was looking for one last week and then looked in the ad and figured I could wait to save 50%.

Bump to the top, the harbor freight gun is on sale again for $50. I just ordered one the other day with a couple containers of matte black. Wonder how far a 16oz container lasts?

Yeah, already have 220 in the garage. I was hoping a stove would be big enough to fit 17" wheels in but I'm doubting it.

ALSO, depending on what size pieces you are doing, i have been informed that a larger toaster over will work nicely for baking PC, as well...
