Just ordered a Powder Coating Rig

Well, it works great, and is very easy to use.

I've been building myself a strat for a while, and I powdered the original trem black (from chrome). I did the tuners also, but turns out there was glue holding the buttons on the shaft that didn't like 400 degrees! I will try and get a pic up, I actually have another of the original bridge that I can photo to show how it turned out. I'm liking this machine so far.
 
Not the greatest pics, but here's an idea of what I can do.

Cool! The Eastwood catalog is sick! It makes me wish I had a much bigger garage.

There've been a number of times when I wished I could have something powder coated--or usually, re-coated--because spray painting wouldn't quite do the job.

Gotta love Eastwood. They have a great forum on their site also. Very helpful guys/gals.

The finish on this guitar trem is just about the same as the finish on my Quan BAII. I may do the tuners on my Harris to match, as I can't seem to justify paying for new black tuners. Too bad your in Cali, I'd help ya out :)

yeah it would be cool, I can picture it now at a gig:

"ok guys, were going to be playing for whom the bell tolls, so everyone turn the gain up. Joe? make sure your intro is extra loud"

"ok"

"whats that?" *guitarist points at large glowing green pedal with lots of LEDs*

"oh thats just my distortion pedal"


You could have all your pedals in differnt glowing colours, so you have colour coding, like green for fuzz, blue for wah, yellow for compressor :D

How'd you know I like LED's :eyebrow:

And thanks to BYOC, I've started making my own, so I can do whatever color I like :D I have the powder to do my new Ross compressor clone in chrome :bassist:
