Powder Coating - A Home How to

[Nova_Cobra64]

I knew of all forums I visit that this one would be most likely to have somebody with one of these hobby powder coating systems. I've been thinking of buying one from Eastwood. It would be of some use to me on my truck project, but I'm thinking that it would be beneficial for another hobby I'm trying to get into: refurbishing goalie masks. I think having the ability to powder coat the cages would be great to compliment the paint job.

Could any of you take a guesstimate of how much powder something like a goalie mask cage would require?

The cups will hold 1-2lbs, and you could probably do 10 or 15 masks maybe even more. The parts I did in the pictures above took VERY LITTLE powder. A little goes a pretty long way.

Awesome, thanks!

I was kind of on the fence about the idea, but at this point I am going to need 2 or 3 cages painted for myself at some point, maybe more. Without anyone close that powder coats I'd be making special trips or shipping, so I think purchasing one of these kits will pay for itself. Too bad I didn't decide to buy one a few years ago before our Canadian dollar turned into a turd .
