if you watch video you can harden stuff off with a heat gun for good results and sandblasting guns can be bought for peanuts, i would buy one even if maybe i had to get items blasted as i love doing things for myself and having my own stuff  i have a lot of tools in my shed, i would powdercoat everything on the engine you must save by doing this in the long wrong though and would give me pleasure in doing it. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
I think u just want to go mad with powdercoating an do everythin metal :grin: :grin: dont worry i tried it to

was browsing through a car mag whilst out shopping and came accross this, im all for doing things myself and thought this looked really good for us diy boys and thought i would share it with seems like a very good investment indeed with endless things to powdercoat. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I have seen one of these in action and they are SLOOOOOW! It was being used it to powdercoat a spaceframe chassis which IIRC had not been blasted or de-greased and the powdercoat stuck better than the paint that was used later on the extra bracketry that got welded to the frame after the powdercoating..... The finish is certainly not the best but its handy for small jobs I suppose.
