Did Some Powder Coating Last Night

We'll, we finally got the Powder Coating thing going on. We're using the Hot Coat Powder Coating System from Eastwood an Electric Oven and a Sand Blasting Cabinet. We're able to P/C as big as a 15 x 10 Steel Wheel. Doing some B/B Valve Covers Chevy Orange later today (will post pics later and may post them F/S). Here's a few pics of what we did last night.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Was this your first try at powder coating? I am thinking about buying a powder coating gun.
