So, I'm imagining a shop for the garage I'll be moving into in a week or so and I got to wondering what it would take to set up a small powdercoating rig in there. Since I detest wealth and hate saving, I quickly started wondering what it would take to add a sandblasting box to the joint. I'm thinking small here; the largest things that would be sandblasted/powdercoated would probably be wheels. Also, if I can get it on CL or find it used, I'm not above using that instead and replacing a worn out seal or two. Does anyone have any experience with this, especially when it comes to actual setup of each system?

podwer coat & blasting ideas

Hers is a CHEAP version for you ....

and ... If you can get a hold of a used built-in electric oven they work great without taking up much room.
A "stove" type electric oven will work too.
Try "tipping or bribing" an appliance delivery crew to drop of a 'used" one for a few bucks.
NOTE: before you blast i highly recommend you degrease the parts of all heavy crap.
Also.... CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN before you add the powder coating.
I would also recommend a NEW appliance box like a stove or fridge box. They usually have lids top and bottom that are banded which makes them strong and reusable. REASON.... you now have a collapsible powder coating box that doubles as a great paint both. ADD a 60 watt bulb and its a baking oven for paint. Paint the inside a few coats of HIGH GLOSS WHITE
Add a light like a 2 or 3 ft florescent and a hookup for a shop vac and a few hangers from the top of different size and length. any questions let me know.
