DIY powder coating kit

[The Pastor]

yeah i want to get my mc22 powercoated at some stage and was looking at this,

I wont get it due to cost (cheaper to get my entire frame/swingarm/forks/etc than to buy this unit)

and the fact that my garage is full, and i'll probably be moving some time soon so wont know what space i'll have.

but giving stuff for someone else to do is just so lame! and this looks like fun!

Ah - yeah, ok. I can dig that, but I must admit, I only bother to DIY when I can do a better job cheaper - in general.
I doubt most here undertaking this would accomplish either better OR cheaper.

Doing a job better and cheaper, thats not real diy, pick one and you may be lucky enuf to achieve it

Ah, nah - I do both. Just built a boat trailer, cheaper and better. Repair my bikes, repair the outboard do all my own painting, tiling building work etc.
I appreciate quality and knowing that a job is done right and I aren't going to have to revisit it, this way I get that.
"IF" I can't, can't be arsed or know someone will do a better job I get them to do it.

Though I will confess, at times I do shit because it interests me, so even if it is not cheaper I will do it for the education value - though it will always be done right.

Doing a take out is a much better option imho

These guys charged $325.00 for the frame and all the other bits and bobs the also do sand blasting and are happy to do small one off pieces. If you are in south auckland they are a ggod option. Cheers

Why not just take it to the local powder coater?
They can powder coat all sorts of things for you too. No need to procure materials, no need to find an oven, almost any size item you want and a variety of materials are available for different purposes - all at very reasonable cost in my experience.

I'm all DIY and shite, but I'd agree with you on powdercoating... Even getting small amounts of the really cool powders can be an arse ache.
