Buddy on mine has been using one for a couple years and still loves it. He purchased a used electric oven for $25 bucks to cook the parts after coating. Uses a toaster oven for the small stuff. For big things like frames he has the infrared lights. Curing with the lights is by far the slowest and most expensive from a power useage perspective. All of the parts I have seen look great and if powder coating is the way you want to go the Eastwood type systems are pretty reasonable costwise. He buys his powder in 10 pound bulk, lot cheaper than the Eastwood spray cans. He uses a lot of "cast iron gray" coating for stuff like linkages, wheel cylinders, anywhere you want a cast look but with protection from rust.
