about the home powder coating, (sorry, haven't been on in a while), it's the same as the industrial, just small scale, comes with a powersupply, the paint applicator and the rest of the paraphernalia, just need to supply an oven.
the trick is in the heating it seems, but a regular household oven is capable of it. uses the same powders as the commercial systems too.

haven't had a chance to break out the system yet, going to try it out at the end of the month on some small bike parts, i'll post some pics if i remember.

^ ahhh sounds interesting.
If you were doing a few things, it shouldn't be too hard to build an oven.
I suppose the biggest issue would be regulating the heat within a specific span.

since we're planning on doing motorcycle frames eventually we're going to be building a fairly large oven (which reminds me, i need to start drawing up plans).

basically, you need to bring the oven up to 500 F to melt the powder, then drop and hold at 400 F for, i think, 20 minutes.

we'll start with a conventionally stove/oven thermostat, which is apparently good enough, but i'm gonna keep my eye out for cheap/free components, maybe even a digital 'stat. should be fun.
