Home powder coat :)

Dont want to tread on Superbikedan's toes but just thought i would stick this up for anyone who fancies having a crack themselves.

Get an old oven in the back yard and hey presto, great for small parts :daumenhoch:

Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

You just did! :-X
Cheap crap!  Just like electric spray guns...  They never work properly!

R.I.P  O.M. Far short of the finish line...

Considering a decent powdr gun will set you back £3k I think the quality of that unit would be pants, also you would struggle to cure parts in your domestic oven and what could you coat really, chainrings, seatclamps, pedals?

Take into acoount the powder cost etc a very expensive way of doing bits yourself, send them off to your local coater for a cheaper and better quality finish.  :daumenhoch:

DIY aerosol can painting, it's a totally differant high tech painting system that cant be achieved in your shed

with an old oven :)
