Re: powder coating?

just looked through my eastwood catolog on the commode. They have several gun kits, one of which you don't even need an air compressor. and a good selecton of powders.

you need an ELECTRIC oven! Gas will not hold a temp consistantly. Depending on what you want done, it's cheaper to send it out. Plus, they will have more color options and you won't have to purchase anything. :tup:

Re: powder coating?

Just get an Eastwood kit then. Remember to have good ventilation while baking the parts. I did this (friends setup) to the LS1 brake conversion. Knuckles, calipers, etc. Turned out nice :tup:
