powder coating
im taking alot of parts off my engine that I want to powdercoat to get them looking really nice. I've heard that you can do this yourself, with some stuff that you put on the parts and then put them in an oven, does anyone have any experience with this and pictures of it? And where could I find this stuff?

nevermind, just found the kit. Didn't know it was $700.....little pricey for me. Is there any way to do some sort of chroming on your own? I'd rather not send engine parts out to have this stuff done to them, and I really would like to avoic spray painting parts cause I don't want them looking shitty. Anyone who has done anything other than polish up the UIM, AFM, pullies, and anything else, post some pics please.

here you go:

I bought my powdercoating gun onsale at a local tool outlet for $75 and used oven for $50.
You definitly want to pickup a 2nd oven and wire up a 50AMP 240volt 4 wire socket for it. Don't use a gas oven as the powder is combustible if it hits a flame.

If you mean this one, yet it's a great hobbiest gun. Requires very little air, so a teeny tiny air compressor is all you really need.
Just be sure to drain your tank of any water before using the gun, replace that water straigner/filter every now & then, and buy the "high temp" masking tape to keep the powder off of places you don't want it.
