I loved my FJ, I probably would have gotten another one if the prices wouldn't have hit the sky! I love these two you have.

Default Powder coating
Thanks Wayne

OK... for those of you that may be interested in powder coating at home
I've always wanted to powder coat stuff myself as I'm fed up with taking parts to my local guy and spending a small fortune and waiting for the sh!t to get done. So I made a little investment ....

Eastwood starter Kit ... $165
5 more lbs of powder ... like $70.00
Nice oven off Kijiji ... $150
Panel breaker/electrical ... $60.00
Total ... Under $500.00

Result ... awesome !!!
This was so easy, should have done this a long time ago but I was a little intimidated.

Kit has it all, bag of plugs, heat safe tape, hanging wire etc.








Approx 13 mins at 450 degrees until it flows, then 20 mins at 400 deg. to cure

Steve,

Such a cool build...

Congrats on your ‘pro’-gress.



(Gotta get that long ‘E’ sound in progress since the work is being performed north of the border. )

Steve,
It doesn't matter what the Toyota guys think! Man, this is going to be as nice as the '69 I bet. Love watching you do your stuff. The pic of the powder coating looks like it turned out really well. The place I used to work powder coated their valve bodies. They shot peened the parts, dipped them into a water thin primer and put them into a 450 degree oven. They came out of the oven and we used what is called a fluidized bed for the powder. This consisted of a tank about 2' square. Under the bed of powder was a membrane that let air from a blower lift the powder and go all through the powder. not enough air to cause a dust storm but after turning it on the bed of powder would lift about 1". You could run your hand through it and never feel the powder. The hot valve bodies were hand dipped into the powder for a set amount of time and put on a rack to cool. Very nice process, but we only did one color... semi black.
Do you think the Eastwood products are going to hold up? I'm really interested in this too. I've seen it for years but was a bit apprehensive.
Very nice job on the FJ so far..
