well for my birthday last January i told my parents and my fiance i wanted a powder coat kit. so for my birthday i got the Eastwood dual stage powder coat gun. it came with a bunch of accessories and other goodies. i couldn't wait to get started. next step was an oven, luckily for me my fiances mom and dad were re doing their kitchen so i was able to get a house oven for free lol. so in my dads garage he has a 35x40 garage with a 12ft ceiling. he has a 4 post lift so i use that as the paint booth and i use plastic to go around the whole thing then i use our shop vac and run the hose inside the booth to help pick up some loose powder floating around and i have little carts and stands and stuff that the old man and i built. so ive been going at it now since about February or so. did some vape boxes, valve covers, wheels, and even a fender and cover for a Harley. heres some of the work ive done so far. enjoy

 

Damn the stuff look good

 

Very nice man, work looks good!

 

Thanks man. I need my 2 other buddies to send me pics of their engine bays yet and I'll post 2 more pics lol

 

Thanks man!!

 

Looks like good work man. I've been tempted to try powder coating since I have access to industrial ovens at my work

 

Watch vids and read the forums lots of good info man!! As long as the oven can go to 400 degrees your good lol. Prep work is key!!!!!

 

Do you have a link of the gun you got?

 

Here's my buddy's Evo with wrinkle black powder that I did and then my buddies turbo LSj I did as well!

 

Eastwood Dual Voltage Powder Gun Starter Kit

 

I need to repaint my intercooler pipe I went I bit to heavy with the sandpaper on some spots and didn't get rid of some lines but I'll do that later

 

Oh ok haha. The powder will cover it that's for sure unless the scratches are super deep lol

 

Nah it's not super deep nothing a fine sand paper won't take care of, it was my first time sanding and painting like that lol the intake came out way better

 

Oh ok nice! What paint did you use on everything??

 

Some engine enamel don't remember the name lol

 

as long as it works that's all that matters lol

 

Im still trying to decide if I want to paint my charge pipes and intake, or get it powder coated. As long as it looks decent, i don't really care.

 

Lol exactly I liked the way it looks it matches my retros, we'll painting for sure is cheaper and I think it looks good

 

If you can find someone to do your charge pipes and intakes I'd do powder coat man last longer and thousands of colors

Looks great man!! I've used vht high temp stuff and plasti dip before

 

Depends on the price. I can paint them in an hour for like $20. Im not sure how much pc cost. I gotta call around.

 

Thanks man next is to do my calipers and the valve cover but idk yet for valve cover.

I would love to get them powder coated but I would need a quote first and i actually have a powder coating/hydro dipping place like 2 mins away from the house

 

Getting the powder is the cheap part a lot of shops honestly charge way more then needed lol I can do them for you lol

White or black would look good for the valve cover. Hydro dipping is awesome but there again way over priced for what it is

 

Yeah it would to get some contrast but white I will only do powder coated

Might send them to you when i store it for the winter then. Id prolly want like a blood red.

 

The gloss white that prismatic sells is super close to summit white! Same stuff I used on my piping

[QUOTE=double clutch;7561561]Well you let me know man! I'll gladly help you out! There's a lot of reds to choose from with the site I order from lol
