I am hoping they ship 240v but picture does show 120v brick :/

I sent them a message about it on Friday but have not heard back.

Looking online, the gun wants 24v DC and the ground cable is to ground. Should be able to feed it the 24v off my desktop psu and hock the parts to any of my ground points.

Well... I prefer this over anodizing any day!

Rock hard, not scratching, easy and fast to apply, cheap...

The gun from Electrostatic Magic is amazing. Came with everything you need to get going.
I do wish they added some packing peanuts or something to the parcel. It was just thrown in there with everything else but the gun is rock solid.
Big chunk of metal, feels solid in the hand and the 2 pots makes applying multiple colours fast.

Looking very good!

That's the £150 compressed air gun?

So after 18 cases + a few test parts I have used the whole 1/2 KG bag with the following remaining;

The bottle on the left is the fresh powder that I have left to use the one of the right is 90% of the powder that did not stick.
There was quite a layer at the bottom of my professional spray booth (which is definitely not the oven box on its side..)

Did have a couple odd spots on some of the early attempts. Not sure what went wrong here. Only happened on a few faces. Looks like it could be gas escaping from the part or clumps from storage, but only happens on certain faces of the part...?

PS, buy a face mask. I forgot till after I was spraying all day and I can feel it.
Probably wont do that much damage compared to the crap we use to thrown on the bonfire when I was a kid...
