Here it be

I figured it couldn't be a complete waste since I only paid like $75.00 including shipping, and it's new. I figured there has to be a few ppl on here that could tell me if its crap or not.

It works, it is slow and the power supply is weak. You can usually get it at Harbor Freight for $50.00

Is there a better one out there that can be had for a decent price? I'd like to be able to powder coat stuff.

Powder Coating is a dry poly or urathane powder that is applied with an electrostatic charge. No solvents to evaporate. It is then baked at 325º to 400º to flow and adhere to the surface
