We test Eastwood’s PCS-250 powder-coating gun to show you just how easy it is to start powder-coating parts in the comfort of your home—though you should probably stick to the garage. Presented by CRC Industries.
Hey, it’s JG. He powder coated a bike part for me using this very setup.
He also powder coated some Beetle parts for me with this setup.
JG is the power coating machine.
Been there done that. In short, the system works fine, but:
1. What you can coat will be limited by the size of your oven, so that prevents doing anything large.
2. Eastwood warns against using a gas oven for two reasons. If the powder falls off the part and contacts the gas flame, a dust explosion can occur. Also, strong convection currents in the air can dislodge the powder.
3. If you come up with the bright idea of hanging parts in a toaster oven on its side as I did, the problem is that without a fan to keep the temperature uniform, the top of the part gets baked more than the bottom. I ended up with many parts being half glossy and half flat.
The above - and the number of parts I had to coat - were all reasons that I ended up selling it and letting the pros do the work.

I will also recommend that once you start using an over for powder coating you should stop using it to heat chicken wings.
In reply to JG Pasterjak :
Directions unclear. Now my powdercoated chicken wings taste chalky.
