Anyone here into powder coating? I’m just getting into it and was wondering if anyone here has done it and has any useful tips for me as I start my facinating journy of putting color onto metals. I’m setting up my workshop in my garage. Gonna start small for now. Maybe later I’ll get a bigger oven so I can do ATV/motorcycle frames and such. I’ve done quite a bit of research on the net and it dosent seem too hard. Should be intresting to see my results. Anywho…if anyone here has done it, post up. ---

On polished / sanded lettering.. I simply sand it down AFTER it has been power coated. Other methods would require masking off the letters very painstakingly with high temperature tape. ---

Wow… this really makes me want to powdercoat my jeep’s wheels. I simply spayed and clear coated them, they haven’t chipped yet but brake dust has gotten into some of the bumps and made them look less-than-shiny. ---

I can do them in a very high gloss red. (Kind of a bad picture). ---

GUH! _jaw droppage… like crazy_ Edit: $60 per wheel, eh? What sort of shop do you need to powder coat stuff (including oven)? It might be cheaper for me to fly you out here for a weekend than to ship the wheels to you, lol!
