It will be nice to see how well this works.....could be a nice way to get things pretty without having to paint. I am also curious how well it works to keep dirt/dust out of the finished piece - dirt, dust and flies are always an issue with paint when you don't have a paint booth.

Dave, make a paint booth with some pvc and heavy plastic, and a couple of cheap box fans and square filters....
Or one of those quick snap up 10' x 10' screened picnic enclosures (just add the plastic)... folks are yard selling them all the time.

When I am spraying fenders, tanks, etc. then I take the part to the office where we have a garage stall with good lighting, ventilation fan and air intake with filters, and the air compressor with a good water separator. I hose the place down, and put up plastic around 3 sides and leave the side toward the fan open. The prep takes an hour or more.....and it just too labor intensive for doing small parts, and it does paint the floor whatever color it is you are spraying.

I am watching to see how this Powder Coating works for doing small things like headlight buckets, brackets, etc. In the summer I take them to my wood shed on a calm day with little wind.....it would be nice to be able to coat small things dirt free without having all the set up time it takes to set up the paint booth. (The garage is where we park our survey crew truck - so it is used to park a truck in every day).
