Hey, I'm looking into painting my next project, but I would like to do it myself. What all does it take to powder coat? I know you need the paint, and the gun / machine, but once you paint it you're supposed to 'bake' it right?

What kind of oven does it need, and is there any other ways to bake the frame. I know microwaving it is out of the question... :devil !

What about painting plastics? I would like to have a complete color scheme, from the frame to gas tank, and plastics. What would it take to paint the plastics, and would it just chip off in a day? I think most people use graphic kits to do what they need, but I run the ol' three wheelers, and not sure what kits I could use for that, so I would like to pain'em.

If I get to do all I am looking into on this next project, it'll sure bling.
