Default DIY Powdercoating?!?!

Anyone here done this? I've been looking into some different kits, I think it would pretty much pay for itself in no time but I'm curious if it's really as simple as it looks.

Also what are some things to look for in the kits if you've done it, and things to stay away from?

I've got some nice directions for a homemade powder coat oven. Its pretty easy to make.

Eastwood makes a kit, but you need an oven, it can be a regular household oven if the parts are small enough, but I would not use the oven in my kitchen

I'm familiar with that kit, I wouldn't use an oven that I ate out of but I do have a plug I could use for an oven in my garage.

Can you scan and make a pdf of the directions? Sharing is nice.

Go to a used appliance store or a discount appliace store and look for the bigest kitchen oven they have and install it in your garage. May want to get a electrician to wire up a outlet for it also.

Pretty easy deal then? What do you do to spray, did you set up a booth or something?
