Entering the world of powder coating doesn’t have to be expensive. With the Tribo Basic powder coating gun, we offer you a functional tool for your first steps. This system combines compressed air with a dedicated power connection to ensure a reliable static charge, allowing the powder to adhere perfectly to the metal without requiring dangerous high-voltage cascades. It is handy, easy to clean, and perfect for hobbyists, model builders, or quick test runs in commercial workshops.
The Tribo Basic in Action
In this video, you can see the Tribo Basic in application. It demonstrates how straightforward it is to start powder coating smaller components and how the Tribo principle ensures reliable powder adhesion.
Tribo Basic vs. Tribo PRO: Which Gun Fits Your Needs?
To make your decision easier, we have compared both systems side by side. The Basic variant is an excellent tool for simple geometries. However, if you want to create something truly professional – such as a set of alloy wheels or components with complex angles – the PRO variant offers significantly more power and reserves.

| Main Application | Small parts, screws, sample panels | Wheels, bike frames, enclosures, production runs |
| Charging Capacity | Standard (solid) | Maximum (for deep corners) |
| Construction | 3D-printed, compact | Industrial quality, ergonomic |

Practical Tips for the Tribo Basic
This gun is a fantastic tool for a "quick test in between". Professionals often use it as a secondary device to create color samples for clients without having to clean their primary system. To guarantee the best possible static charge, make sure the power supply is properly connected and use our powder curing ovens for a consistent and reliable cure.
