I do some powdercoating with real small parts. My oven is a bigger toaster oven so its good for the stand up jetski parts i use it with but other than that not much fits is...
I bought my gun from eastwoodco.com and it works pretty good.
Ive done some motorcycle parts and jetski parts is about it and i usually do chrome for a base coat for a candy blue or candy purple...Would it be expensive to wire a house oven? in the garage
I'm pretty sure that's the place we got our gun from too...

PowderCoating two colors isn't that hard... On like a cylinder head or wheels or whatever... you could use high temp. tape like i have OR you can take a damp sponge and wipe off the powder you don't want to be on there.... like on lettering on a head or something

Ive worked in a powder shop for over 3 years now so ive seen alot of different tricks. not trying to tell you our way is better just throwing ideas out there....

When i use the sponge thing its just barely damp, wet was a bad word choice.Do you do wheels?
