Question Powder-coating for noobs

Hello guys n gals ,

ive recently been reading a lot of information on this site and wish to undertake a powdercoating at home. As i live with my parents i have no room but i will make do with the minimum neccisery requirements as long as its withought sacraficing the quality of finish.

My aim it to create some sussesfull pieces for my babys ( cars and bike).
the largest part i would be prepaired to do would be a alloy wheel or frame. So this brings me down to my problems that i hope will also represent a good thread for noobs like us

Questions:

Are these all re required kit for a good first hack at some items between the size of a hand and a 2lt bottle of pop, I will be mainly concentraiting on using black and metallic powder's bonding to aluminum , steel and aloy surfaces.


Starter Powder Coating System and 1500W Infratech Curing Lamp for coating and curing.
a infared thermometer and a Powder Scrape Gauge to help maintain accuracy.

am i going along the right lines?

and could some one give me a good solution to prepairing these metals for powdercoating as the choise seams endless and i find it overwhelming to contemplate wich is best for my use?

im looking to keep to a minimal budget withought jepordising quality tasty bits

can anyone shead some light on any missing requirements im still in the process of research but would like some direct personal opinions buy some of the exerianced proffetionals but also tips from people in a similar position.

I hope to turn this into a sticky (even tho im new ) because sometimes it takes a noob to teach one !

Thanks
Power Powder
