I have a shop set up in my house but will not be using that gun. harbor freight is where I'll shop for starters. Any gun that is designated for powder coating will work as long as you are using a voltage xformer that will give you 15-20kV of voltage to distribute the powder at a positive charge. I do not have any past experiences but I have done a thorough review on most guns. powdercoating does depend on evenly heating ovens (kitchen oven works best because if we ate baked foods that didnt cook evenly, we'd have many situations of "hitting" uncooked parts of the food); HOWEVER, the key to the professional powdercoat is in the preparation of the product prior to baking. A good sandblast system is much better than spending $100 over on a gun. I saw a $1,000 gun once and it seemed like the only bragging rights it had was the fact it is more effective for numerous parts and is faster for a business. For doing a couple small things at home, you dont need to drop $$$ on a PC gun. I have pictures of my set up if anyone is interested.
