So I bought powdercoating equipment...

And it works great! I love it. Practicing on scrap, I found out just hard it is to remove, even with a 40 grit belt on the bench-top belt sander...

Messed around with some valve covers. They would look better if I had sanded them instead of leaving the cast finish...
