I'll look out the link for the powder coating system I saw recently. On the 
rare occasion that I need to get anything like this done, I use a colleague 
who has a messy workshop and ovens and stuff.
But theres a DIY powder coating system that I know others have used, is very 
cheap and produces excellent results.
