I already have a compressor, blast cabinet and powder coating gun, however just thinking if I should get into powder coating, pulling off little brackets and stuff off my car and powder coat them. Just need to find an oven now.

But I am finding that there is more needed.. for example. I also need some kind of spray booth, but I really have no space so will have to make do with some foldable cardboard box.

I also need a parts washer to soak oily things like valve cover right? Or a 5 gallon bucket with simple green and an aquairum pump would do?

OK bottom question is do you think it is worth it, we are talking about alot of space here needed for the prep work. I probably won't go crazy and build a trailer-sized oven with start coating people's wheels, bike frames.. this is just for my own use. If down the road I can coat a few parts for other car club members for a few dollars thats fine though. It does take up a lot of space to powder coat PROPERLY. Sure you can coat some small stuff for your self pretty easily, the issue is when you start charging for your services. Good enough is no longer good enough for paying customers. Take for example the oven, if you are going to build one it makes no sense to build a small one, you need to exhaust the fumes from the curing powder, the oven needs to have the air circulated inside so you get an even cure rate. My oven is roughly 6' high by 2' wide by 3' deep, It is too small and I have lost work because of it. If you are going to PC for money build at least an oven big enough to cure truck bumpers.

Yes, you need a good way to degrease the parts and also you need a way to pretreat the metal (I use iron phosphate) if you are serious about good adhesion, that's another tank you need to buy. As I said, for your own parts you don't have to go all out, if the coating fails you can redo it and you are not out anything. It fails for a paying customer you are now loosing money. The RIGHT way to redo a failed coating is to totally strip off the PC that failed, we are now talking about yet another tank and more chemicals.

Let's talk about the gun, HF and other low end Chinese guns are notorious for wasting powder, so again if we are talking about paying customers, I wouldn't start with less than a Hyper smooth gun ($450) and preferably a King Coat ($).

You do need a spray booth or a good respirator, the powder is not toxic but it is so fine it will cause respiratory issues, without a spray booth you will have powder EVERYWHERE and it is hell to clean up, you also have a very good chance of contaminating your coating without one.

The good news is the booth does not have to cost a ton of money to make, mine probably ran me $200-$300 but I scavenged just about all of the materials.

Do you have the equipment and knowledge to polish parts to a mirror finish? A lot of people want the "candy" colors, they are nice but must be applied over a highly polished surface. Polishing is another "can of worms", it's beyond messy and requires a good amount of practice. I wouldn't want to use a buffer below 1hp and 10" wheels.
If you decide to go for it and need any help don't hesitate to PM me, I'll do what I can to help you out. I think it depends on what you want and why you are doing it. like lone gunman says if you are doing it for profit thats one thing but I bought a kit from eastwood just to see if I liked it, and I can tell you I think it is great. I bought the kit, got a used oven from a friend, last year I bought a blast cabinet and I have done quite a few things. it is fun and easy. the key as has been said is surface prep. but if I have a metal piece I would much rather powder coat it than paint it. it looks better and lasts longer. here are some pictures of a differential housing I did last year.



so it can be done in a small shop with minimal outlay of cash if you take your time and do the prep work well.

doubtless the quality of a professional shop will be better than my home efforts, but for my purpose and personal use I certainly enjoy it. YEAH IT TOOK A WHILE BUT IT TURNED OUT REALLY GOOD. i HAVE AN OVEN TO DO SMALL PARTS AND THAT IS DIRT EASY. JUST STICK IT IN THERE FOR ABOUT 25 MINUTES AND THEN IT IS DONE WHEN IT IS COOL ENOUGH TO TOUCH YOU CAN PUT IT ON YOUR CAR. NO WAITING FOR THE PAINT TO CURE OVER NIGHT ANYMORE. i HAVE USED IT TO DO BRAKE DRUMS, SOME SMALL PARTS FOR MY HOOD LATCH ON MY MUSTANG A COUPLE OF INTAKE MANIFOLDS, i MIXED UP SOME CUSTOM TEAL COLOR FOR MY DADS INTAKE TO MATCH HIS CARS PAINT COLOR. i EVEN POWDER COATED A LITTLE PIECE OF SHEET STEEL AND SCREWED IT TO MY DAUGHTERS WALL SHE USES IT AS A MAGNETIC BULLETIN BOARD.

AGAIN i JUST DO IT FOR MY SELF. STARTED ON SOME JUNK VALVE COVERS JUST TO GET THE HANG OF IT AND I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED IT.

My dad thought when I bought the thing that it wouldn't work very well but he is just amazed at the quality of job I can get done with this little thing. since you already have most of what you need I would say try it out I bet you will love it.

sorry about the all caps I did not see the capslock was on.
