Well put. I seriously doubt microwaving would work. Infra-red, on the
other hand has the highest likelyhood of working. Infra-red will heat the
opaque surface (powder) and just the top layer of the substrate. If you
are very careful you could powder coat a plastic part with only a very
slight melting of the outer surface of the part.
