Powder coating units
I know this is a repeat subject, but the search on here won't work for me-----what powder coating units do you guys have and are you happy with them? I won't be painting large pieces as I will be using a regular kitchen oven.
And isn't the Chicago Electric unit the same as what Eastwood sells except for the extra paint cups, etc? Reccomendations please??

I love my Eastwood system. I don't think the Harbor Freight system is the same. Two things I hope you know; 1. You can't use your household oven, and 2. It has to be an electric oven.

Yep. What leads you to believe the Chicago unit isn't the same?? They sure look the same? I'm not questioning your judgement, I just would like to know the differences. Thanks

I've got one of the Harbor Freight units bought from Columbia Coatings, I'm pretty satisfied with the unit. Here's some motor towers I did last night with Satin Black. I think the units are pretty fool proof for hobby use.

Chicago Electric makes the unit for Harbor Freight and Columbia Coatings. It is gravity fed, the Eastwood unit has the cup underneath and is siphon fed. I have the Eastwood unit and I like it.
