The fire museum I volunteer at just began doing some powder coating. It is like painting, it's all about the prep and rust can creep along under powder coat a little more than paint. You will spend big money on an oven for curing powder coat. Ours is a commercial grade oven, runs on 220 and cost about $4000. We use a sort of beginner gun from Eastwood bit will upgrading when we get a little more proficient at it. I'm looking at redoing my 17 Husqvarna FC450 and a Yamaha YZ465. The boss is okay with it as long as I pay for the powder and don't get in the way of regular operations.
