Powder Coating at home?

[lcruz64]

Having an oven in the garage is a waste of space I don't like the idea that much.

i was actually thinking about picking up a working oven from the street, putting it in the backyard and work with that.

ovbiously you will need something bigger for like a rim, but having somone weld a metal box for you, and you just put some stove tops in there, wiring them with temp resistant wires and you should be set, or even making the box yourself

I can fit a 17" wheel in my mom's oven. How expensive could an old oven from Goodwill be? I'd be spray painting it black ANYWAY.

Hopefully your mom didn't see that! hee. I think you will have to go to a electronic recycler for the oven. Most goodwill or salvation army don't pick up electronic stuff.

Damn, your gonna need a really big oven, LOL.

It would definitely look different.

Has anyone tried this yet?

 

[lcruz64]

I went to buy it and the salesman convinced me not to because I didn't want to have an oven in the garage.

I think I'm getting one for xmas. I have an old oven (didn't trash it when I remodeled my kitchen) and I have fairly easy access to a gas line next to my dryer or the garage.

If I do get it I'm going to do my headers first and post results. If not, I'll have a chat with my wife and then go get it. Craftsman club members can get it for $140 btw.

this is pretty interesting, i'd love to be able to coat my parts for my kits at home, i have a non food oven in my basement, i dont know how hot it gets though.

what temp does it need to be able to reach?

It says 400 degrees..I do beleive ovens ...most...will get well over 500 degrees...you'll be good with a normal household oven.

I think I read 400 degrees to cure on the website. Will this powder-coating hold up to turbo manifold and DP temps? Wondering if the clear will turn yellowish or brown on a polished part or just burn off.

i doubt you will be able to use it for high temp applications.

i may actually pick this thing up if it actually works...

It is craftsman...Sears is not known for putting out complete junk....If you dont like it they will take it back....

 

[Super Mario]

Good point. s***. I cant afford new toys lately damnit... haha.

 

[mp5smuggler]

if you dont have room for another oven and want to use your regular one will it be ok if after you use it you clean the oven? or is it once you use the oven to p/c in its ruined for anything else?

 

[dirtysouth_msp]

LOL, I would not eat anything cooked in it after it was used to cure powder coating!
