The Eastwood co. is very close to my house about 5 miles. They have a good catalogue with specialty tools, paints and other stuff for the car hobby. I have a couple of their catalogues. They have the powder coating system on display at their showroom. I was checking it out it's pretty cool. The only limit is the size of the oven you use, The bigger the oven the bigger the stuff you can coat. They even have ovens for sale in their catalogue. Decent size ovens.

Wow, those look great.

I wish I had a spare oven..

One of my buddies built a oven out of an old metal fridge from like the 40's. He can do pretty big peices but I just hate askign for favors all the time.
