new shop tools (again)

I dont have them here yet so no pictures at the moment, but as soon as i get the stuff and set up I will take some picures, but I will tell you what I am buying.......







a ELECTRIC OVEN for the shop
why do i want a friggen oven in the shop you ask
















so i can cure the powder coat, thats right i am buying a powder coating system this weekend. now granted its not the top of the line by any means, but the vfr750 i am working on now needs PCed wheels and we are too cheap to pay someone to do it, so we will try ourselfs.

will let you know how it goes though, maybe somday i can do some stuff for you guys on here

eastwood "pre" or acetone. clean is the key. also bake the wheels to 400 deg. bare to get impurities out,then clean again,then pc the wheels.

yup,they got some colors. good product too. ues the disposable in-line filters, not the desicant inline ones. and for small(size) jobs pick up a toaster oven,saves on elect $$,heats up faster too.i've had mine for 6-7 years now and it works well.if i can help don't hesitate to ask

Honestly, it's the coating that matters.


Don't save on the coatings and you will be happy.

correct,to a point,it's very much like paint.the prep is 90% in the finish job.Eastwood makes a very good product,but you can't polish a turd
