Powder Coating

Often I am slow on the uptake.  Am I reading the threads right that some of you are powder coating small parts and baking it in the home oven?

I actually bought an oven at the goodwill for the shop. Just plug it in when I need it. Keeps the wife happier. She complains if its not for her bike.

I am thinking about doing this.  What do you think is your powder cost is, to do lets say a polished valve cover?  How may oz of powder would that take.

I have access to a powder coat gun and a large oven at the University. The gun I use requires compressed air, so I'm not familiar with the aerosol type. I am interested though, as I graduate soon and lose my access. For traditional powdercoat, it is very cheap. I recently did a complete Suzuki GT550 (frame and all major and minor components) with less than a pound of powder. Eastwood Co charged me $33 shipped for 2lbs. Pretty cheap considering what a pro would cost.

Tell me about this teflon, how is it applied, different colors?

Hmmm.

I remember QUAIL saying that he wanted to powdercoat a polished valve cover -- I guess he's talking about clear powdercoat?

Not to be too dense  :P  but I have seen "clear powdercoat" on some wheels or something on one a them biker shows....

Would it be possible to clear powdercoat polished bits in your own home?

This, I'm interested in.

clear is out there I just got a price of 70.00 to do the valve cover and the 2 side covers.  I can,t say if it can be done in the house.  That sounds like a 3 cheese sandwhich burn job to me. :D :D :D
