For either gas or electric ovens, "broil" is a non-regulated, or loosely 
regulated, setting
that puts the heat source at the top of the oven above the food. Sort of 
like an upside
down grill.

Bake is more closely regulated, with the heat source coming from the 
bottom of the oven.
This is what you want for powder coating.
