Found a large powder coat oven, what's its worth, tips and tricks?

[cafetools]

Kind if a bad picture, but the powder coat oven does work that I am interested in buying. I will probably only pay maybe $200 max, how much would you guys pay?

A oven this size that you could put a 650 frame inside would cost something like $5000 on Eastwood.Com for an oven online.

I am going to buy the $79 harbor freight dual voltage powder coat gun kit. I will buy my powder elsewhere, online. If I want to paint glossy black do I need black base and a separate container of clear? Any help and tips are appreciated. This is going to be a awesome process once I'm set up with this. I will also save a ton of money VS paying a shop to powder my parts.

A wooden oven?

The doors look like rusted steel that was cooked from the inside out at 350 for 4 hours.

I thought it was wood too.

Is it steel? I sure hope it's steel, that would be nice.

So a little update, I am getting this for free, that's right Zero cost. And I guess it works too, now I just need to borrow a truck to move it.

Free is good! Be sure to post after you bake your first frame.

I sent a message out asking if it's metal construction. I have to admit it's pretty large, but frees free. And if I have to remodel it atleast it's a good baseline. And it works.


Edit: got a response and it's all metal. No wood on it anywhere! Looks exactly like wood though haha!

Just don't put any fork locks in it, lol.

Looks like the control panel of a residential stove on top of the chamber - along with the loose batt insulation.

A custom oven for custom parts. Atta boy!

Looked pretty sketchy at 200 bones, but a score at free. It may be missing the owner's manual.

I am probably going to pick it up today. It indeed does look sketchy however it works and it's all metal construction which is s good start!

Not a whole lot of people have ovens this big, I wonder if I could start a little side business.....? Because shops can charge an arm and a leg to power 650 frame.

I want to build a little cart with wheels that I could roll in and out of the oven with all the parts on it.
