Hi all,
Probably a bit of a random one, but I'm trying to get as much as I possibly can into my home garage in terms of "car" things. I'm happy to get stuck in with pretty much anything (RS4 B5 and MK1 TT cambelts coming soon!).
The MK1 TT has a seized caliper so I'm probably going to tear it down and rebuild it but it was painted, I think, with red nail varnish using some mud to apply it and that has all but gone and looks crappy.
Which made me think about powder coating.
Anyone got any experience? The sort of kit I'm looking at (following a video on youtube!) is under £200. Then I'd need an old oven to bake the items at 200c. The only other thing is that the powder seems to be quite pricey and you seem to need a fair amount about 1kg to do an alloy for example which costs wise appears to be around £15-20 per KG.
Cheers,
James
