Re: Podwer Coat Kits

I can't speak of the other brands, but I have had the Harbor freight one for about 2 years now......no problems at all. All finishes have come out looking good. I bought it on sale for around $50. Hope this helps.

Re: Powder Coat Kits

I have the Eastwood kit, I love it. The HF kit is usually on sale at the stores if you can find one near you.

Re: Powder Coat Kits

You wait for the cook top part of your home range to go out, then buy a new one for the little woman, and move the broken one to the shed. Wire it up...and cook away.
Only limited by size of oven.

Re: Powder Coat Kits

Check FAQ's, some plans for ovens there. You can also cure with infrared heaters.

Re: Powder Coat Kits

Had an eastwood kit for about 4 years now and use it frequently. Works good.
