Before I go and buy the Harbor Freight powder coating gun I had a question about powder coating large pieces, like my truck frame. Can I do it with a heat gun or a torch? I certainly can't take the f

to cure powder coating you need a sustained temp of 400 degrees... I doubt that you could get that with a heat gun over a large area and the powder would not melt down and flow properly... and I'm s

Take yourself to www.eastwoodco.com and look at their curing systems. I haven't tried it myself, but the heat lamp approach seems to be the way to do big stuff. -Steve Trovato strovato@optonline.net

I use the Eastwood Company home powder coat set up and love it, but I wouldn't use it for a frame. Eastwood did sell infrared heaters and pyrometers to do frames etc. My feeling is it would take fore

Hi Nolan: Eastwood has an infrared curing lamp for powder coating. A little pricey for a one time use, so you might consider having your frame done by a local powder coating shop. go to http://www.ea

Eastwood sells a "large item" kit. Basically a heat lamp on a stand and a non-contact thermometer. http://eastwoodco.com/itemdy01.asp?T1=10180&Dep_Key1=hct Doing it with a heat gun would certainly b

I have the HF setup, but don't buy it from them! Check out Columbia Coatings http://www.columbiacoatings.com/ They have the same one for $70. For $136 you can get a "deluxe kit" with all sorts of use

I have the Eastwood gun and also purchased the HF unit on a super sale. I find the Eastwood gun easier to control the amount of powder. The HF gun seems to want more air pressure to work properly, an

Heat gun would probably not work, cant get hot enough to get the frame hot. A torch would blow the powder right off, it does not take much to get powder off the part prior to curing. I have the small

Wow. For that kind of time and money, seems like it would make more sense to build a custom oven. Rob the elements and thermostat out of a discarded electric kitchen oven, build a frame of EMT (bolt

I thought of that also...but in reality on a car, there are hundreds (thousands) of small parts that can be powdercoated and only a few really big ones. I chose the paint most of the really big ones

Lots of sports car and race car builders are influenced by the words of the late Carroll Smith. He didn't much like powder coating on chassis or suspension pieces . . he had the idea that one couldn'
