Not too bad for my first attempt. Just the obvious like where I touched it after spraying.

I found out also why you don't want to touch the tip while it's on. It shocked the piss out of me! It didn't seem like it was blowing enough powder, so like an idiot, I reached out to touch the tip. I don't know how many volts that is, but it's a sizeable amount. Both my arms hurt.

I've got an alt pulley, and the nut in my Easy Bake Oven right now. ;)

Second batch. Too bad yellow is the only color I have. I'm looking for a Merc Blue.

Colors always seem to be the problem

This one looks like Catapillar Yellow, which was the exact color they painted the transmission on my 302 when I had it rebuilt.

Any pics of the equipment? I thought about getting into a few years ago as a side project, but it seemed expensive to get started

The kit was a Harbor Freight kit, about $100, the powder was about six bucks, of course you need a dedicated oven for pc. I picked one up at a local place that buys and fixes appliances. I told them I wanted one that the stovetop didn't work. She called me about an hour later and said she had one. $50.

I'm switching up today. My equipment came in yesterday about 4 pm for refinishing tubs. I already bought the material last week, so I'm going to refinish the tub and tile in China White today. The hardest part so far, was pulling that fcking shower door off, and scraping the silicone off. I've always hated shower doors, there is no way to keep them clean. I think I've got it scraped now, eating lunch, then mask it off to begin spraying. I bet this primer/topcoat would work on boat parts too. The cool thing is, you can send them the paint code for any color, and they can make it. I'm thinking of sending for a quart of Merc blue. I have the paint code. They use this stuff on the space shuttle.
