When your curing the powder in the oven. You need to get the part up to the cure temp then start your timer. So if it says 400f/10min. That's 10min when the part is up to temp. So if it's a heavy thick part could take a while to get it up to temp. I also try to cure smiliar size parts so they all reach the temp at the same time. Infared gun is a must. As for powder I buy mine from emerald coatings they sell it as small as 0.5 pound.

Nice rainy weekend to be in the garage so I went out and bought a toaster oven off kijiji for $20 and tried out the powder coating.It worked great and the colors aren't to bad,gonna have to invest in some cool colors now that i've seen how easy it is.If i can get some pictures up today you'll see the brake lever and shifter i did in blue.

How do you do temperature control, I was thinkin about making something similar but maybe not as big. Good idea. I was going to use an old steel tank. Cut a door and weld on some hinges and wrap it in something to keep the heat in.
