wicked94s10 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I have a craftsman powder coating gun, and I have used both craftsman and Harbor freight powder. Ill have to read the bottle to let you know the temp and the amount of time in the oven. I usually only do small parts and I just use a cheap little toaster oven. The harbor freight powder is very good, it goes on and cures just like the expensive powders. The only downfall to hf powder is the limited color selection, but its 5 bucks for 16 ounces, I have seen many places charge almost 5 an ounce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxer_joe08 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Never thought about using a toaster over. Smart, keep the fumes outside if you wanted too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawlins87 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Get a line fed gun with adjustable voltage. Not a top fed cup gun.Get a used electric oven off of clist.Powerbuythepound.comProfit.I've done my rear sets and a couple sets for other people. I can fit a 17" rim (bike not car).

wicked94s10 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I got a full size oven for big stuff but do not have the hook up in the garage yet, I like the toaster oven for small parts, it heats up fast, can be taken places,and is very cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
