We BUILT A Wheel POWDERCOATING Oven For $125

Everyone has some wheels that need powdercoated, and powdercoating companies charge way too much. Quotes seem to be around $250 a wheel these days when material costs less than $100 for all 4. Josh was ready to do the wheels on his Trailblazer SS so he bought a double oven for $110 on craigslist. Then we spent the next few days converting the double oven into a giant single oven that can hold a 21" wheel. All in the oven only cost $125 and a handful of sheet metal screws. We borrowed an awesome powdercoating gun from a friend that wasn't using it. The wheels came out perfect and we're ready to do the next set!

How terrific an idea of creating the oven to bake the powdercoating. Put the major's out of business and do-it-yourself! I've seen the process before and it's relatively simple, but the outcome is fantastic. With your oven, do as much as you want to do. You will save on costs. Rims turned out looking better than new!!!! I'm in!

[@osgeld]

one of the best decisions I have made was to hook my buddy up with a fast food style double tall oven I found at habitat for humanity, and it was like 40 bucks, stainless and I helped him wire it in and added a PID. Now I get powercoat for free just down the road LOL

[@yxflier8409]

@@WatchJRGo I think the SR-71 could qualify as both a plane and a spaceship! I have been on the Citation X a few times. Work related, I am not rich, and have to say that over 600mph ground speed is very impressive. It boggles my mind how much work goes into engineering and assembling these things.

I have a 2006 TBSS - in fact the same SilverStone metallic color as that one in the video. Even though I live in Florida, the clear coat on the wheels gave up a few years ago and I stripped them with aircraft stripper - that stuff is amazing - it wasn't tedious at all. I wonder why they media blasted them in this video? Regardless, the ones in the video came out gorgeous.

I need to try some powder coating for my cast boolits. I've been using an epoxy powder you mix with acetone, let dry, bake and repeat. I think the powder might be less hassle.

Well thats a good idea using a dbl oven to make the powder coat oven! Ive seen them being built from sheet metal and a single oven for parts.

Besides the powder and the oven, you need the blasting cabinet that's big enough AND you need a way to dismount tires and balace wheels and remount the tires back on the powder coated wheels back on customers vehicles. THEN you're in business!!

Fun fact about the FedEx 727, when FE retired the 72 from their fleet it was more economical to just give them away to airport fire departments to use as fire suppression trainers or Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic schools for the tax writeoff than to sell them for scrap.

[@TheLaserguy2]

Thanks for the video, it inspired me to follow suit Like you, I found and am using a GE double oven as the base (Model JKP350D P3BB). In mine, the bake element in both ovens is hidden. Under the shell. But I see that in your modified oven the element is inside on the bottom. Did you relocate it, which would make sense for maintenance and heating, or did your oven originally have an exposed element? I plan on doing a side hinge to make loading a bit easier. Did you end up moving the door seal to close off the sides where the gap is?

Instead of a hook at the roof of the oven to hold the wheels, can you build an angle iron rail there? so you can pull the wheels out that are hanging on a hook that has a nut on it? (so the nut rides on the rails..) that should also lessen the stress on your back putting the wheels in and pulling them out.
