powder coat or better paint
well, i purchased a small powder coating gun setup but i still need to get all the other stuff to really powder coat...... i was thinking about looking into just getting high end heat paint (or paint for heat and suspension projects) . anyone use a good paint that doesn't look like crap once it's done? i really don't feel like dishing out a few more hundred dollars just for powder coating..

Re: powder coat or better paint (cryzko)
I take my materials to have them powder coated, I have not dropped the money for the entire setup to do it my self. I don't have the room to do it anyway.
Powdercoating is a 1000 times better than paint, especially on items like suspension, frames, engine components, wheels etc that paint won't last on.

I have a professional powder coating gun and have powdercoated many parts, all you need is the gun, the powder and an oven. Keep your parts clean, wear gloves, blasted parts coat the best, heating up the parts before coating helps with powder sticking to it and therefore minimizes the chance of it falling off when handling the item (putting it in the oven).
