    Seeking powder coating advice/opinions

    Those parts look like ones I've done myself with my Eastwood kit. But I'm no professional and I bake them in an oven in my garage. As Sandee mentioned above, it takes good equipment and technique to get the powder to 'cover' seams. I normally preheat my parts with seams to help the powder stick...

    Best Method for painting truck for under $200-$300?

    Martin Senour from NAPA is a good price also. I just finished mine. The primer, base and clear came to just over $300. Used 2 HF guns. Had on using the 1.8 tip for primer, and one with the 1.4 for base and clear. I had a few runs (and orange peel), but that was me, not the guns.

    Need a sample of Mustard Yellow

    Anyone have a kick vent or other small part painted mustard yellow that you would be willing to sell or rent so I can get it matched at the local paint shop? Just need a clean sample for the scanner. Thanks! -Bill

    Advice for newbie rust/winter/fun FJ40

    What color is easiest?

    I'm in the middle of a frame off. Looking to paint a Dune or Coronado Beige, but I'm not sure yet. I'll be painting it myself as it'll be a trail rig, but I want it to look as good as my skills (or lack of) will allow. For a painting noob, is it easier to paint a dark color or light color...

    Maaco anyone?

    Last time I used Maaco was in the late 80's. As long as you did all your own prep work (sanding, taping, wiping down, etc.) , they did a half decent job of throwing on the paint. When I look back now, I should have painted it myself as I did all the heavy lifting anyway. I have no idea how they...
