Home powder coating system
Anyone use those cheap $100 or so kit available online to do home powder coating?
I'm not expecting 'superb' finish or anything but just want to powder coat some bicycle components. Just wondering if anyone recommends certain kit or brand...guess if the finish is good I wouldn't mind spending few hundred dollars for home use.
TIA

i just gone one yesterday a craftsman one.
i wasnt expecting much since i got it dirt cheap cause it was discontinued.
well the results were very very decent for my first time and the finish is very durable.

Hmm I might have to check that out. One thing I like about the WAI system is you don't need an air compressor. And I have access to small sandblaster...just need to grab a beatup oven but figured if I'm going to spend $60 for someone to powedercoat parts I might as well get a system for myself.

Re: Home powder coating system
I have a system I bought from eastwoodco like 7-8 yrs ago. It was $150 and the results are perfect nearly everytime. I have 2 house ovens I bought cheap at a fleamarket that I use. As long as you prep good its going to come out nice.

Re: Home powder coating system
So for things that are painted like aluminum/steel, if I sandblast them what else should I do? Just use like acetone or rubbing alcohol to get the surface really clean?
