Powder Coat painting



Does anyone here have experience with powder-coat painting?

I have heard that it is the recommended way of painting battery racks and other components in an electric car conversion. Supposedly, powder-painted items are non-conductive!

I saw Harbor Freight has a powder coat paint system for $60.Looks like it requires an air compressor to use with it.

I saw some info in another catalog warning not to bake the items you powder-coat in an oven used for food. Is this a for real health warning? Or just the typical cover yer arse legal requirement.

System is suddenly much more expensive if I have to buy another oven to go with it!

Your comments?

Not sure if this link will work or not, but this is what I was looking at on Harbor Freight.

Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices
Or do a search there for item number 94244
