NEW kID ON THE BLOCK!

[OleIslandBoy]

HI ALL!

I'm a so-call "NEW" Kid on the Block! I'm as GREEN as they come...however I think I'm being drawn into ya'll world of Powder Coating. While I want to start very, very slow until I get the hang of things, I would like to set-up a mini work space to "TINKER" in.

With no tools and expertise, I ventured to bid on a self contained gun on EBay for $79.00 bucks and would know by Sunday 09/21 if I won. I the meanwhile I would like some input on what additional tools I would need for this initial set-up!

I have some old "Keys and Stuff" to practice on until I'm confident this is for real and plunk down some serious dough, besides my Auto Body man is waiting to see some stuff for as he says "there should be a market for this kind of thing".

So I'm all "Eyes & Ears"...anyone?

Many Thanks

Hi Guys,

And thanks for your reply. At the moment I done have any stuff, but soon hopefully I'll have that little WAI gun to fool around with.

I do have some space on my enclosed Patio to use as a work area.

Thanks for the link "Harleydad"; I could now start gathering the items until my gun arrives. As I said earlier this is an experiment and I can't wait!

ya'll be hearing from me soon...thanks again!
