I tried it.. Not bad

[sean_cj7]

So yesterday I bought a Craftsmans Powder Coat Gun, and today I tried it.  Now I generally am a little hesitate to buy Craftsman Power Tools, but I figured what the hell this time.  For it being my fisrt attempt it went well.  I used a toasted oven to bake it in.  All in all I'm impressed, and best of all, there is no clean up.  Just sweep up the powder off the floor and throw it away.

I've been borrowing a plasma for the time being, I'm waiting to find a good price on the one I want  :wink: Mark said you were looking to buy one, have you got anywhere with that.

Will that thing Powda coat wheels??  I should ask ....is your oven big enough?  I got some 13" VDub wheels I want black?  I would luv to get one, I do a bunch of painting small stuff and would rather PC it instead.  I must look into this thing.  Is this the one you got?  http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=00917288000    Bull.

 

[sean_cj7]

Yeah that's what I got, and I can't see why you couldn't do a wheel, as long as your oven is big enough.  I have just a small toaster oven, am going to look in the bargain news for a used oven when I get more room. 

 

[cjshloman]

Let me know when you get more room, Ill get you an oven for free Betty Crocker.  Got many lines here.  Bull.

 

[sean_cj7]

Yeah I noticed it after it was cooked.  I didn't know how much to put on, next time I'll add more.  As for going over budget, tools are addictive.

Keep me posted Ron.

Looks good Sean.
Do they offer a flat finish powdercoat?

How durable is the powder coat finish?  I need my rims painted / coated too (16"x7").
