    DIY Powder Coating

    FYI, bought a powder coating system with gun, electrifier and oven from Princess Auto (~$250 cnd) and stood the moser rear end crate upright to make a paint booth with garbage pail in the bottom to catch the excess powder paint, see attached pics. Powder coating all the smaller bare metal bits that came with my MK4. Cleaned parts with brake caliper cleaner, preheated for ~ 10min in oven as it was warming up, hung parts in booth, set air to ~20psi, coated with powder paint, baked in the oven at just over 400F for 15 min, very easy and really happy with the results. I did have to buy an oven thermometer just to make sure I was getting to >400F and even though I have a good work space I was pretty careful to wear goggled eye protection and a respirator when dusting and baking the parts.
