Re: Home Garage Powder Coaters???
I agree with Lee, the $100 guns work really well. The one you can buy from this site is pretty typical and with it you get some good people to back you up.
The only thing I'd add is that prep work is the part that I've found to be the most hassle, and a blasting cabinet is a real timesaver. Even a small cheap one is way better than trying to clean and strip everything by hand. Two things to check are if your compressor CFM will keep up (if not, you blast, wait, blast, wait, kind of a hassle but still usable). If you do a search here for blasting cabinets, you'll probably find lots of info, but the things I'd look for is one that can handle Aluminum Oxide, which is pretty abrasive but makes a great surface for paint to "bite" into. It eats gun tips pretty fast, so I'm not sure how the non-ceramic-tipped gun that comes with the cheap cabinets would hold up.
