just use a old oven, there is a ton on ebay they charge on the average $65 an hour to powder coat parts, and thats not including sandblasting which can run an extra $40. If I stop paying them prices I could buy a commercial type oven, and charge 1/4 of that price. |

This is an old carburetor, I sand blasted it and powder coated it, turned out really nice. awesome shine If anyone has any small parts they would like powder coated, like pulleys, bolts, linkage, I will do reasonable, I plan on doing rims, intakes, valve covers, and exhaust manifolds when I get a larger oven.  |

my small 11 gallon air compressor had a work out over the last few days, been sand blasting some engine parts off my barracuda and some parts for a buddy.
my regulater blew apart,now I`m dead in the water, new regulater will cost $50, now is a good time to up grade to the 32 gallon air compressor Harbor Freight has on sale.

caswell is good and they are local, many people gas their parts, "preheat" it cuts down on bubbles.....
