Damn that looks great. How much do you have invested in that setup besides the cost of the oven?
I'd really like to do a few engine parts.

Thanks! I've probably got about $2200 total into it. The oven was about $900. Somebody could get into it for about $500-$600 (including the oven...which through work I can get used ovens all over the place in Tampa). The main things you need are a compressor and a dedicated 30A 220V circuit for the oven.

with the oven, I can fit about 22"Wx15"Dx12"H. For the IR light, I'm starting on a whole car job in a week or two, so i can do just about any size

I've got some chrome material and some clear that I have been wanting to monkey with.
The most expensive part of the powder coating is the oven. Do not try it in your wife's/girlfriend's/mom's kitchen. I buy all my powder from Pendry Powdercoating of the web.
the oil pan was a single coat black chrome, the t-stat housing and crossover were followed up with a gloss clear...not that the black chrome doesnt turn out pretty glossy anyway, I plan on getting a Canton Pan in the future and wanted to see how the pan would look without the clear.
I use columbia coatings here in TN for most of the powder. I have found it to be some of the highest quality powder, and they will color match it if I need to (havent taken them up on that yet...but soon i may have some Laser Red)
Any particular reason you go with Pendry (i.e. customer service, quality of product, etc...)? What kind of setup are you using?
