Cooking Up Some Goodies!

Now that the frame and rear end have been painted I decided today would be a good time to try out some powdercoating.  I already had a few of the rear suspension and brake parts blasted and ready for the oven.


I knocked the flash rust off with a wire wheel before powdercoating.

I got my gun and powder at Harbor Freight since I had read some good reviews on them.  It didn't take long and I was putting out some pretty decent pieces:





Before I new it I had done all the pieces I had prepped. Later when Driveshaft commented on how much I had done in such a short time, I told him I was on a roll and was going to powder coat anything that didn't walk away!!  I told Jimmy that she might even be next!?!?!

Powdercoating didn't make too much of a mess.  I really like it because once I get a part coated it is ready to put back on the car in about 20 minutes at 400 degrees.  I intend to powder coat everything that I can fit in the oven.

What's next:  finish powdercoating all of the rear end suspension/brake parts.
