Friend of mine has the eastwood setup and I scored him a free oven to use. Haven't wired his garage for the 220 yet but we are itching to use it as well

I have power coat and it is real easy but ill tell you right now it is a mess make sure you put something down to catch the extra powder and if its clean enuff u can reused it to just make sure your stuff is oil free and plug any holes that u need to put bolts or screw thur and enjoy oo one other thing get a dust mask or you will be haven powerd in your noise and you will have that color of boogers for a day or so lol

[dand355]

Hey if you goin to powder coat, you need a sand blaster too, and my friends dad told me bout these he loves his for small stuff and you cant beat the price. Went ahead and ordered me one too.

Killer!!

Well i got sick of waiting for my sandblaster and got bored today so i tried out the powder coating on the heat shield that came with my starter, and for my first part and the fact that i dont have all the stuff your supposed to have to do it with, i think it came out alright. Only trouble i had it on one part of it the powder just wouldnt stick, think it may have been a spot i touched after i cleaned it.

I had a little to much air pressure for it so it wasnt as thick as i wanted, the air kept want to blow the powder off the part, but its really cool to see what it looks like with the powder on it rite outta tha gun, and then how slick it looks and feels outta tha oven.

[421s10]

oh yeah your part looks good

[Bacon]

can you get my fender well headers in there Nick?

No, i wish i could but id say the biggest headers i could do would be a shorty hearder.
