1st attempt at powdercoating
Free oven from folks' remodel, got one of those eastwood guns and gave it a go. Tried it on a heater cable cover and it turned out real nice!
 Pretty happy with the results. If I had more time today I'd do some more but have a busy weekend.

Well I already had an air compressor and a little benchtop bead blaster, gun was $200 plus powder.

Re: 1st attempt at powdercoating
Looks good! Powder coating can be addictive. Now that you have an oven to use,you should also experiment with baking-on paint. It really makes a difference and getting paint in any color is easier than with powder. I've done it with restored Tonka Trucks and they come out looking more original.
