    Avid front light bar, Avid bolt on sliders, Avid rear bumper protector, T-Rex grill & bumper insert. Still lots to do though.
    The fridge works great. I thought about the PVC & tarps, but I was able to get the fridge free & the fridge is nicely tucked away, ridgid, pretty mu8ch dust free & set up each time I want to spray, I don't have to assemble a booth, it's already there. Saves quite a bit of time.

    Some of my recent powder coating.
    Some KLX 450 parts, radiator guard & kick stand in flat black

    KLX 450 pegs, rear caliper cover, rear brake clevis

    Couple of small shackels I had laying around in the garage. Really cool new powder. Mirror Black base with a blue sparkel clear top coat.

    One of the shackels I sparyed heavier top coat than the other to see the difference & see more black on one than the other

    They definitely look better in person

    The latest addition to the garage. It's small but it works & helps keep me organized & tools at the ready. Even powder coated the bolt heads flat black then mounted it to the compressor shelf. It's the air tool holder / organizer. It's also lockable. I can lock up the air tools so neither of my sons can use while I am not there.

    So is the point of the powder coating booth just to control the powder and dust getting everywhere? and what are the fans for, just getting rid of the powder?
    I have an eastwood gun that I use for small parts and only have a smaller oven too, would like to get a kitchen oven set up in my garage some day. But I just powdercoat them wherever and throw them in the oven.
    Props on the garage, looks great.

    Hey Scott, Yes, on the fans. I also have the Eastwood gun. The fans do wonders on pulling the excess dust to the back of the booth. I think I am going to install one more fan in the near future though. The filters over them took some of the draw away so an extra one will help from getting the dust all over. I am also hoping to get a bigger oven in the future as well. Something big enough for skid plates & whatnot. I have been redaing in to building one. If I build one, then I can make it to my size specs. Maybe something big enough to get rims, bumpers & motorccle frames in to.

    LMAO. I was going to drop you a line today to see how you have been doing. Sounds like you are getting everything taken care of. That's great. Hang in there with all that stuff. I know the stress of a move is a pain. On top of that, a move with a pregnant wife is even more stress. Been there & done that. Like I said before, no rush. Where abouts you moving to?

    That's just the spry booth & cooling booth. The oven is off on the side right now. I am either going to buy a bigger oven or build my own in the near future.
