has anyone used this or would you recomend using it. not for a big business but maybe for a few frames in my garage or smaller items or would it be worth it to get one of the $1000+ guns
also has anyone seen the kits in the eastwood magazines are eastwoods guns any better

That gun looks like the ones that the Eastwood Company sells. If you're just going to do small things on occasion, I wouldn't spend a whole lot of money. The small setups do just fine.

You can always get a really nice setup later if you decide to go into business or something.

that's the same one as i got. i think it works pretty good. but if you think you'll get serious about it, go ahead and get a good one, cause this one seems to waste quite a bit of powder.

and btw, do some research on the net about pc'ing. there's some pretty helpful stuff out there.

i'm thinking about modifying mine if i can find some info on the parts this one uses :devil:

but as you can see, it does a pretty good job :)

in the pic i did the clutch cover, valve cover, heat shield, motor mounts, oil tank, pegs, fender mounts

the problem with thoes is where to bake the items. a frame dont fit in an oven.

what is th disadvantage between those and the real $$$ guns. im probably just going to be doing a few things for me and friends

im not exactly sure. they're a lot more powerful, so they'll attract the powder to the metal a lot more, so you won't waste as much.

but go ahead and get that one if your just doing some stuff 4 you and some buddies.

the big prob is an oven tho. one big enough for a frame costs quite a bit, even if you build it your self...with steel like it is.

good luck with it, and make sure you practice a bunch b4 you do something important. and do a good job prepping the parts.
