I POWDER COAT MYSELF,SO TO HELP THE NEXT GUY REMOVE EXCESS GREASE BEFORE BLASTING, KEEP IN MIND SURFACES YOU DO NOT WANT POWDER ON, REMOVE BEARINGS IF YOU HAVE ANY , BUSHINGS CAN TAPED OR CORKED OFF .
If YOUR COATING BLACK ,I REALLY LIKE THE SUPER DURABLE WET BLACK, ITS A HIGH GLOSS AND MOST COMPANIES OFFER IT. THE NAME SAYS IT ALL
A SATIN WILL BE CLOSER TO A STOCK LOOK
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN ! NO BETTER SATISFACTION THAN DOING IT YOUR SELF

Do you have an oven big enough for a frame? I have the Eastwood gun but only a small oven, a local shop is going to do the frame and swing arm for $200

My powder coater prebakes any parts that have had grease on them, this bakes the grease out of all the pores in the metal, after that he washes the parts and then coats them. Good luck.
