I'm thinking on getting a powdercoating gun and narrowed it down to 2 choices. Which would you get?
Choice 1:

Choice 2:http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94244
I'm leaning towards the summit because I don't have an air compressor yet. Has anyone used this one and how was it?

Don't let the punks get to you. If they can't say anything helpful its because they probably
have VERY LITTLE IF ANY MECHANICAL SKILLS . Talking crap is just their way of hiding that
fact. They figure the more crap they say the less likley anyone will know how dumb they are.
i have have the harbor freight one and i have used the sears one which is the same as the summit racing one and the harbor freight one is better i get really good results out of it and i recommended it also you can get a 1 gallon compressor and it will work fine with it, i can post pics of a few things ive done as proof if you want. and i also recommend that you preheat your parts before coating them as the powder will stick better.
SO, I'd like to see a couple pics if you don't mind. I've got a brand new HarborFreight powder coating system I bought a couple years ago, and a small 5 gal, 2 1/2HP compressor that I have'nt used yet. I'm still looking for a cheap oven and a place to put it. I was curious as to how good of a job this thing will do.

Call me a newb, but all you need is this gun, a compressor(which my grandpa has) and an oven? Is there a tutorial somewhere, I googled and searched the site, couldnt find something.
