D.I.Y. Powder coating parts!

I finally had a chance to use my favorite christmas gift, the Craftsman Powder Coat Gun. Thought I'd start off small so I did one 3/4" shackle to test it out. WOW! Easy to do.

1st. prep shackle with wire brush or pressure abrasive to remove any paint


2nd. clean surface with solvent. I used mineral spirits.
3rd. hang from oven rack, attach ground wire to hanger wire, and spray coating surface evenly.


4th. bake in oven for 10 minutes to bake then 20 minutes to cure it


Turns from powdery surface to a nice glossy texture. I am using "signal red" for my shackles to match my hi lift.

I know what your about to say...PICS? ya ya ya Ill post them once it gets out of the oven.

I plan on doing anything that will fit into my oven... look for posts on each part!

It was $200 plus cost of powder and extra cups for different colors so you dont have to clean the same one all the time

Nice Canadian_rocks. Must be a fun tool. I almost bought the Eastwood kit last year.

Re: D.I.Y. Powder coating parts!

Is your wife happy that you told her you're going to buy her a bigger and more powerful oven (one that will fit a wheel)?

She is all for it! The oven in my garage was left with the house when we bought it (spare). I was thinking of even getting an oven extension shaped out of stainless to do 1 wheel at a time.
