The 28 gallon they sell is a sweetheart, I have one, it is a Sanborn with a Coleman label. There are 2 types oil-less and oil sump. The sump type is the one to get, it makes about half the noise. The recovery rate is very good. I haven't seen an oil-less at Harbor Freight but check to make sure. You did yourself good.

That's the one! Sanborn, with a Coleman label. They loaded it in the back of the truck. Picked up one of the 100' reels and hose while I was there, so I can drag the hose out the shop and work with air tools just about anywhere.

One thing I really like about the Sanborn is the adjustable regulator. Ie; you can have 135 psi in the tank, and regulate it down to 40 psi out to the hose.

Like I said it's a sweetheart, my wife got it for me. I just smile when it turns on, the damn thing is so quiet. I have a 50' on a reel. I need to replace the hose, for some reason the hose is "bleeding oil?" It's a Goodyear hose and there is some nasty stuff weeping from the hose. So when you touch it, the damn thing leaves a nasty black mark. I am going to buy a neon orange one that is vinyl coated and much easier to deal with. The hose touched the Vette an left a mark that I had to scrub off. Fucking Goodyear.

Speaking of shop goodies, I just bought a glass bead cabinet, just a little guy with doors on each end. The thing works awesome. Here is the ultimate shop goodie, a Miller TIG welder. Got an EconoTIG and the thing works like a charm. AC/DC, I can do aluminum, stainless, mild steel, anything.

Yeah, baking was my problem. You can buy the gun for about $800 but I think the oven was over a thousand. I would really like to powder coat my swingarm.

Harbor Freight has a powder coating system, probably pretty cheezy but worth a look. There is another place that sells a kit and I hear it is a good one, but I'll be damned if I can remember the name. Something like hot coat. I remember it being about $300ish.
How to cook them, Go to the second hand appliences and get an old oven, plenty enough heat to do the trick. I'm going to do a quick search right now and see if I can find it.

Eastwood has both a cheap powder coating kit and a more expensive one. I have had the cheap kit for some time now and have used it extensively. Work's great, excellent results. Only thing I could find that would stand up to brake fluid.
