I use the Eastwood Company home powder coat set up and love it, but I 
wouldn't use it for a frame.
Eastwood did sell infrared heaters and pyrometers to do frames etc. My 
feeling is it would take forever and you couldn't be sure of the finished 
product.
Before I go and buy the Harbor Freight powder coating gun I had a question 
about powder coating large pieces, like my truck frame.  Can I do it with a 
heat 
gun or a torch?  I certainly can't take the frame and stuff it in the kitchen 
oven, even if I were to make a pregnant oven modification.  While I could get 
the powder onto the frame, how do I cure it?  How have you folks cured big 
items you were powder coating?

Worse news, I didn't know they had a store only a little over an hour away 
from my home.  Uh oh, there goes all the pay checks!
