Hello -10 listers -
I thought that the Powder Coat system that I use at home was wider known...perhaps not so I will throw this out to the group. Go to: www.Eastwoodco.com
I have the HOTCOAT Deluxe system. It works great. You can powder coat in mamma's kitchen at 400-425 degrees. I have used the system on dozens of little parts, hinges, home-made antenna mounts...and yes....I am planning to powder coat my baffles.
Some observations, tricks and tips from my experience:
First, take a cardboard box... run a coat hanger through it several inches from the top. This will be used for the negative/ground alligator clip. The clip goes on the outside of the box so it doesn't get covered with powder. When you are done, you can take the overspray out of the box and put back in the bottle. Make hooks to hang parts out of safety wire for small items, and a cut up coat hanger for heavier items. Just make sure you have good conductivity between the hanging wire (negative contact) and the parts
