Hotcoat Infrared powdercoat system So I have quite a few things that I'd like to get powdercoated (calipers, suspension parts, tb, etc.) so I figured I'd look into maybe doing it myself.
I came across the HotCoat Infrared powdercoat cure system on the Eastwood site HERE
Has anyone used an infrared system like this?
I think it would work out very well for me.
How long would it take parts to cure?
Such as LCA's, TB, Valve covers, etc.

I use hotcoat, but i use an oven, not IR. I heard it can take a little while to cure with IR because the IR light has to touch each part so it can require turning the part over a couple different ways to make sure everywhere cures well. Thats just waht ive been told though, never seen the IR used

I'd get the decent sized IR lamp, not that little one. The time thing isn't of the BIGGEST concern, I'm more concerned with the results.
For the price of the set-up and the few things I need done it may just be the same if I had them done professionally and would negate my efforts of doing it myself, oh well
