[e30this]

WOW, I think Im going to order one this week. :)
Thanks for the links sfb222, Im going to look through there site.

Thanks for the photos to Jay. When I was looking at the eastwood kit on ebay I actually noticed that it was in your home town.
I REALLY need to make it down there too. I should be able to kill 2 birds on this trip. :)

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

its insane to me that someone would do such a clean job brazing that frame, and not knock off the casting marks on the lugs!!!

bum out!!
