I was reading about the powder coat process at the following site and
wondered if I could actually do it myself. Anybody ever done any? If
so, how did it turn out?

I do it regularly, I bought a cheap system from Columbia Coatings a few
years ago and use my kitchen oven to cure the powder. It would be
advisable to use a dedicated oven for it but my volume is small enough
(and I'm not married) so for now the regular oven has been an option.
The process is more complex, but in my experience easier to get right
than spray painting. The fact that it "dries" in only the time it takes
for the part to cool is a huge bonus, if you screw it up you can just
sandblast it off and start over with very little time hit.
