I have tried the 2 part epoxy paint with HBN powder mixed in. It works OK. I will post pictures of that later.
I have been researching the powder coat system and have seen video's of people doing it with various brands of guns. I have noticed that the Harbor Freight gun needs to be shook often to get a good flow of the powder and requires higher pressure air to do it. I found the Eastwood Company and their offering. http://www.eastwood.com/original-hotcoat-powdercoating-gun-3252.html
For $120 I got the gun, some accessories and 4 - 8 oz jars of powder. They are running a promotion of free shipping for orders over $50. Their gun only requires 5 to 10 psi and the video I watched of it in action, it seems to get a good flow of powder out of it without any shaking of the gun.
I will be using it for other projects as well. I really want to do this as I find it annoying to get sticky fingers from the waxy bullet lube and the color is cool.
More on that later.
