Achipmunk,
Tough market to get into unfortunately. Guys with bigger toys (ovens) kinda run us small guys over. Once you get started coating, you ain't gonna want to stop (but go ahead.......you can send stuff to me)
You can literally shoot the part you want to paint, and leave it hangin' around the shop for days if you want. Not really recommended, but if you can keep it away from any breeze so the paint doesn't blow off or collect dirt/dust, you're good to go!
I try my best to "maximize" my time and the space in my oven. I will shoot everything I know I can get done in a day, and then strategically (or to use a Bushism, I use strategery) hang the parts in the oven to get as many pieces in at one time as I can. Cook 'em, let 'em cool off a little, pull them out, hang on a separate rack in the shop, place more parts in the oven and let 'er rip.
Anyone out there wanna good deal on powdercoating for their AD small parts, gimme a shout.
You don't have to use your kit..........send it to me, I'll hook ya up!
