Hey there,

I bought the Eastwood kit approx 4 years ago, and it works really great. I too didn't want the oven in the shop, but finally did pick up a used one. I pulled the electric stove top elements, and store my scrap steel there. I have coated just about anything that will fit in the oven and withstand the cure temp. One thing I did was take some scrap 18-20 gage sheet metal and cut them up into baseball card size. Why? Well I now powdercoat those pieces whenever I get a new color, and store them in a binder that has the plastic sleeves for displaying a baseball card collection. I will write on the back exactly what color and brand powder it is, so when a friend stops buy, (and you will have alot of new friends) you have something to select from. I also coat various wrenches, since I was curious as to the chipping factor. I've done intake manifolds, carbs, valve covers, air cleaners, lower and upper a-arms, brackets, bolts, and even coated a old headlight with translucent blue! Keep in mind that wherever you actually spray the powder, it will be pretty messy. It is imperative that the metal be super clean, and normally I will sand blast the part prior to coating. Check out the tech section on the Eastwood site, since they have alot of good info there.
Good luck, and have fun.
Bob

 

Thanks RJ. But where were you yesterday man? See I told you right off 'fenders know diddly about PC. Tough to clean up quickly for a powder color change. Don't know why I thought it needed to be on to clean it. Back to the Caswell website. The answer will be there. That forum is awesome for PC questions.

That PC color chip catalog is a great idea Bob. I bought 4 different reds to make sure I could match my truck paint. And they all look about the same before I cooked them.
