Cheap and easy powder coating

Country Bubba:
I also recently got into the PC process. Based on a post in a different forum, I found a Craftsman PC system on Amazon for $27 (free shipping) One beauty of this system is it requires NO air compressor and uses a built in "fan" to blow the powder. I also got a sampler pack of 6- 1/2# canisters of powder from Columbia Coatings for about $35.
Went to the local thrift store and found a toaster oven for $5 and I am in business. For a "spray booth" I simply set a cardboard box up on the table and shoot into it. Very little overspray so it ends up in the box. Cleanup is a breeze and the parts look good.

Here's one more I did today. I used transparent colours but I mixed them 50/50 with clear to make them even more transparent. Again, it's a little under 2 inches in diameter.

Well I'll be hornswoggled!!! I am continually amazed at the things I learn from this forum.  :mmr:

Nice... I wonder why they don't sell this in Singapore...  Are they toxic such that I'll have the stuff stuck at the custom?

Regards,

Just in case anyone is interested here is a oven build for powdercoating one designed to be dismantled when not in use.
