I'm wondering if it is possible to use powder coating at home and which kind of tools and materials I need? Do you use this at home? I don't know if there is a shop that do this in Belgium.  |

You can do it at home, you just need an oven that will heat to 400 deg f. Never cook food in it after you have used it for powder coating. Eastwood sells a starter kit as well. No guarantees on how it will come out though.

I am ALWAYS worried about these so-called "Home Kits" they can NEVER be as good as paying a profesional to do what they do best |

there is one that is not too expensive and good were i go with the floorpan and engine tin near my house as well. don't really know prices but you get it fairly quick. 2 weeks max. and it is welldone except for their silvergrey like original rims are. they are white with some metalflakes in them. not really what you want. i would anodize the fuchs that would look great and it is the way Porsche did them. powdercoating is hightemp... maybe not good for the rims. and i would not send my rims to any powdercoater as they sandblast them with very hard material and would probally fµc* them up. if you want i give me the parts on sunday.
