Newb has Q's: Anyone here actually use the STARTER KIT?!?

[cabrego]

I am so close to buying the starter kit, I have access to sand blasting and an electrical house oven. Can I get good results with caswell's starter kit?? I will be coating common car parts, nothing to big. Anyone personal experiences with this kit?

Thanks guys, love the site
!!

I guess many in here use the gun supplied in the kit, and for me its works great, if you cant get good result with it the gun is not to be blamed. I use it for all kinds of parts, and other than a cable break, my own fault, the gun works flawless...

I see other guns on ebay for half the price, they seem to be comparable. Any major differences??

I'd love to see some pictures of parts coated with the starter kit. LMK

I have one of caswell's hobby gun's and have no complients what so ever with it. Theres times i'll choose to use that over the pro gun. Here's a pic that was done using the caswell starter gun.

Hey, nice pics. I finally ordered my gun and some powder last nite. I am still looking for some prep stuff, like plugs and tape.

i am about to get a sand blasting cabinet. Sounds like a lot of fun, it also sounds like it could give a good headache too!! Hopefully not though.

anyone know if clear coat is suppose to go over a particular type of powder?

I have the starter kit and it works great. Can anyone tell me how to clean it like when you need to put another color threw it. thanks

Ya, I can not wait to get my kit. Well, I can wait a little, I just bought a sand blasting kit from Harbor freight so I need to play around with that first. Picked up 25lb of glass bead.

Anyone know if you need to degrease before sandblasting I would think you dont have to.


How do you go about reclaiming? Is contamination an issue??

you should really do yourself a favor and take the time to read and then re-read the tips and tricks topic, or do a search for something your interested in, you will more than likely find your answer faster than waiting for someone to post back at ya. and YES degrease befor you blast.
