I have the Eastwood gun and a small, 12*18" electric oven. It's big enough to do brackets and stuff. Small enough to keep people from wanting to do their wheels...
I do like it. Not really better than a 2 part paint, but less messy as the powder just sweeps up.
Be careful of harbor freight powder, not UV resistant!

Terry..
Be sure to let us know what the price range of those ovens is? Might be the solution I would go for..

I have used a 30" oven from Goodwill in the past but I want to do the
wheels on my dune buggy. The price quoted per wheel will more than pay
to build that oven. But first I plan on a trip over to Seattle to look
at a used bakers oven. Might do the thing............Terry

I did my truck wheels in a 30" oven...no problem. I've done intake manifolds, valve covers and a host of smaller parts. I built a spray booth that sits on top of the oven for compactness. It has a fans and filters in the top and I used one of the oven racks screwed to the top as a rack for hanging the work pieces from. The bonus is you can ground the rack and use clean copper solid core wire for hangers which grounds the work pieces.

Most of the powder coated stuff I have dealt with is much less sensitive to chemical attack unlike two part automotive spray films which remain sensitive to solvents and fuels long after cure.

I am so not a fan of powder coating.
I firmly believe the industry has the public snowed.
It has a sexy new(ish) name that sounds so cool and hi tech, it must be better right??
The only real advantage of powder coating is that it's cleaner, no solvents and the over spray sweeps up.
Durability wise a good polyurethane paint is far superior.
They are both tough and temperature resistant, but urethane Is more flexible, has a chemical bond to the substrate rather than a mechanical bond, it's repairable, better UV protection, and it looks better. It's also low temperature, no need to bake the snot out of your part (like 450 degrees)
And its repairable, just spray some more on top....lets see you fix powder coating...
I own my own powder coater and do use it.
But 2 part urethane is better.
Did I mention paint is repairable??
