Eastwood has a hobby gun kit you can buy... it is not bad to do some smaller stuff... laying powder is the easy part, prepping everything is where you run into some trouble... i powder with an eastwood pro gun... I LOVE IT! shoot 60 - 120 alum oxide for blastin, acitone/prep/denatured alchole for wipe downs, stripper bath with b17 (also smaller one with b14), parts washer, and of course an OVEN... then it is all about learning your curing temps, PMT, and learning to work the powder and lay it all even

i order alot of my powders from powder by the pound, they have great stuff, tiger coatings and NIC make soem CRAZY cool powders!

Thanks, im only looking to do some small stuff for now, mainly on my ironhead but maybe my sigs on my streetbob.

Looks like eastwood has some good stuff.

Do you recomend any rattle caning? Is there a liquid spray that holds up decent? Like high heat, or the stuff for tractors etc.
