    This is a pic of the 2nd 3rd and 4th thing I tried powder coating today....do not ask about #1 :evilsmile
    This seems fairly easy, semi-messy....but it sure takes old ugly parts and makes them purty :yup:
    These took about 10 minutes in the sand blaster, less than a minute a piece to coat, 15 minutes at 400* and about 15 minutes to cool down. They are not perfect, but I think they turned out pretty nice for my first day trying.
