Well, I purchased a powdercoating gun from Eastwood Company. In the upcoming weeks, I will be mediablasting some metal parts and I want to try out this guy. It says any non food prep oven will work, that I need something that maintains at least 400*F. Well, I have an old gas BBQ grill that I use to cure high temperature paint and coatings and it works excellent. Basically, I have a solid metal plate to deflect any direct flame or tempurature spikes. Above it is a rack for the metal parts to sit. Can I use this set up to cure my powdercoated parts?
Some other questions I have are: Where do you purchase your powder? Any tips on powder coating? How thick should this be applied? Do I have to wetsand and buff the cured powdercoat like I do with paint? And how durable is the finished product?
Thanks guys, I've always used my HPLV gun and shot the parts. But this is a first.
