Has anyone tried one of these Harbor Freight Powder Coat Kits. I
doesn't say in the ad that it needs a oven. Do they work or is it
just a waste of money?

thanks for input.

A buddy of mine bought the $150 one from Eastwood for his small
business, said that it was good. Yes, you need an oven of some kind, he
used an old electric kitchen oven.

Any true powder coating system needs an oven. Some have used a UV(?) lamp
to bake the powder. I think the HF setup would be realy nice for small
parts (the size of an old kitchen stove's oven). Just don't use the oven to
cook food in after you've baked some powdercoated stuff in it.

How hot do you have to have the oven. I'm looking at building a bed
and I'm weighing my painting options. Shound I powder coat it or use
a good exopy paint.

thanks for the input.

The temp needs to be about 400F to cure the plastic.

Works evevery time it is tried!

I've got one and it works fine and considering that I only paid $45
for it! I was $49.95 on sale and and used a $5 off coupon. I've seen
the exact same kit go for nearly a $100 on eBay. I bought a used
electric range for $25 which works fine with a few mod's to the oven
so I can hang stuff. And if you don't care about the back side of
whatever you are coating... just set it on the oven rack. I got my
powder from Columba Coatings. The chrome powder coating (after some
practice pieces) looks very nice. B.G.
