my gun & the powder I used for this was bought through Caswellplating.com.Thier forums have all kinds of info about pc & oven building.Definately worth a look.I also get some powder through Columbia coatings.
Let me add another site that I remembered from a past forum discussion on the topic.

Damn good post, I've been running ideas thru my mind about how to build one of these.
Todd Achten built one a few years ago, did some coating for LAMF (Gary).
I think he used elements from kitchen ovens also.
Different enclosure tho.

Another good link for Maz and all the rest European fellas:

I've bought my gun and some powder from them, seems good enough...
In the US you can find a really cheap gun at Harbor Freight also.
Oh and I'll post some pictures of my home-built propane oven, as soon as I get a chance to test it..
It's not completed yet (still have to mount a fan on the ceiling) but I will try it first, just to see if it works...

Big industrial ovens are all gas powered, otherwise it would be very expensive to feed with elettricity..
