Where I work wel come in contact with powdercoating every now and then, and the quality certainly varies. My 2 cents is if companies who do this for a living can occasionally make a mess of it with big ovens and decent equipment, what are the chances of that tiny device producing a coat that will be satisfactory? I'm not saying it won't work as I know nothing about it, but I wouldn't risk it personally, especially since regular paint can be every bit as good. HTH
