[e30this]

Im looking at picking up a powder coating machine/gun to do the parts for my motor.
I was just wondering if anyone had any type of experience with this setup.

Make sure you use an electric oven! ;)

Several of my 2002 buddies have them. Good results. You need to pick up a used/spare oven - don't use the one in your kitchen. It'll smell!

yeah I know what to do, Im not new to powder coating. I actually ran a powder coating system for over a year. I was just trying to see who used that gun and liked the results.
I actually found a web site by eastwood and there is a lot of great info on there.
Im going to order one in a week or so.

As soon as I sell something for about 100 Im going to snatch one up. I just picked up a new set of wheels that I would like to PC.

What kinda oven and powders do you use? Can you post photos of your powder gun?
Thanks

i use the hypersmooth from columbia coatings, as well as their colors.

there's pics of the gun, and the powders on their site.

i have the hotcoat gun, which is worked great for me. Unfortunately i have nothing to compare it to, however i could see some areas that need improvement.

if i had to do it over again, i'd get the system from caswell.

problems i have with the eastwood system is i don't think it has enough power to do multiple layers with ease. its possible, but not friendly. I've also had some issues with tight corners - but i'm not sure if its the guns fault or just the nature of powder coating.

only nice thing is eastwood is like 10 minutes from my house - so i have easy access to powders, etc.

i've done a number of bikes - this one was clear over glass beaded metal

and lots of car stuff





nice thing is that we have a walk in oven at work - thats a e30 rear subframe in there
