The main problem with powder coating is the high heat necessary for drying (curing) the paint. Convection ovens work well, but the best curing comes when you use an IR (Infra-Red) heat source. Few of us have that ability, so it forces us to go outside our garages, and that costs money. The paint itself is relatively cheap. Hell, you can buy it from Harbor Freight. But you need a special electrostatic gun setup to spray it and of course, the curing after it's done. Better to use a good brand epoxy paint and be done with it. Just remember to properly clean and prime the metal first, and you'll be happy with the results for a long time to come.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
