you dont need to have it sealed, you just need to heat the metal up. another way is to take the coils out of a stove or two, jig them up, and roast the frame over the coils. you can get low temp power too.

it doesnt need to be in a shitty box, you just need to get the base metal temp around 350-400 (depending on powder)... and you can do that any way. if you really wanted to make a box, build it with cinder blocks or bricks. a dude i know has an auto clave in his backyard for his pottery shit, its just made from red brick, 3 stove eliments down at the bottom and a steel plate as the door/roof. its about the size of a doghouse. halogen lights dont get hot... you need something that produces heat, not light. i used to have a crappy harbor freight powder coater and a 2 eye propane heater. i used that setup to powedercoat my vw engine tins, worked pretty damn well.

Halogen lights don't get hot?! That's news to me. I've seen a halogen light powder coating set up on this site you have to move them around for bigger pieces but apparently it works.

also a good paint job can be as tough as powder coat. why not paint?

You want at least a constant 450 degrees for 20 minutes for complete flow . That's what I was advised to do . I've been setup for for about 6 months . My Oven shuts off 10 mins before 450 degrees and I let it start cooling down gradually before even opening the door I had a weird crazing and the shop I get my stuff from says it's the blast of cool air drying (well cooling) the outer surface and it tends to crack and spider vein when you open the door .

to get the target material up to 400 with halogen lights, you will need lots of them... and the power comsumption? the waste heat? but yeah... take it to a powdercoating place, a moped frame would cost about $80 to get done depending on quality of powder and company. if you have the shotty harborfreight powercoater and a couple stoves to tear apart, go that route. you might be able to take the doors off the stoves and put them front to front with the frame in both of them...

SAM! You need to return to PDX and ride with us someday soon! The the Hobb-a-geddon is coming along.

Yep the whole frame is done in that black to green sparkle-a-thon color. It's current issue is figuring out it's height issues. It needed longer shocks- IE the whole ass of the bike sits about a mile higher then I'd intended it to. Using 330mm shocks from a CT70 pit bike. Trying to locate a set of CT70 forks on the cheep to see if they'll even the thing out and perhaps work out a disc set up.
