Anyone had any luck with any of these? If so which ones? Hate to spend $300 to get my rims done if I can by the equipment for that. And what do you use to bake on the powder, your oven? Lol, wife will love that.
electric oven and cheap gun is fine for smaller stuff, (and some actone to clean the parts helps. )
It also helps to prebake your parts and shoot them while warm with those entry level guns.
Nitro, dont you remember seeing my oven?
Standard house electric oven works great for small stuff. I wired mine where all elements are heatin all the time so there is even heat from both sides during bake process. Also a good idea to put an all metal fan in there to help prevent hot spots, like out of a range top or something. Of course just run the shaft thru the side of the oven and blade inside the oven, the motor has to stay on the outside
.
Save the stove top elements , too. They will work inside the oven if your regular elements burnout.
Two electric ovens laid on their back with the adjoining sides cut out and welded them together as one makes a big enough oven for rear arms , or two wheels at a time, even a BMX bike frame
.Then make a lid out of sheetmetal and metal house studs stuffed with insulation . Wire the ovens together so one knob controls all the elements.
