Looks great Alex. What equipment did you use? I've been looking at the kit from Eastwood, just curious where you got yours?

I have the 'pro' set up from Eastwood - really nice. I also have the 'regular' version (bought that first then upgrade). The first $50 (plus shipping) can have the origianl gun...works fine! chris@944enhancement.com

Oven is a laboratory convection oven that I got for $50 (was originally $6k several years ago)
Can do lots of fancy things and has a sweet digital control panel.

I got the Eastwood "HotCoat" kit...bought it from them on ebay for $71.99 IIRC. Later down the road I'd like to get something that has adjustable voltage, but it works great for now.

I have one question - whenever I take something to get powdercoated they bead blast it to take it to bare metal....for kits like this how do you prep the metal? It looks good! - Just curious!

I've got a blaster. Been using soda for most stuff.
You could prep everything by hand sanding it, but that would take forever.

Did some more parts (ignore the "residue" on the cam gear cover...couldn't get all of the old gasket off so it got baked...doesn't matter since it'll be covered anyways)
