I do lots of it at home. Maybe have 100$ in the system and all the different powders I have.

I use an old toaster oven and a full size oven. Works great. A little practice and you can achieve different textures.

Ive coated approx. 400$ worth of stuff.

Now that's what I wanted to hear! Tell me more, please!
Do you have the one from Harbor Freight? What does it smell like when it's curing? Would it stink up the house if you used the kitchen oven? Mess up the oven? Undecided

When I get one I want to see how well it works before investing more $$ in an oven. Cool

Wind me up & watch me run, I ain't never had too much fun!

Right on ! Just a little feedback is all I needed. Ovens are no problem for me, but I too wonder if the HF gun is a decent place to start.

Yes I have the HF one. Only problem ive had was with tight enclosures. Like if you wanted to coat your cylinder. In between the fins would be the hardest part. The powder would want to stick to the outer part of the fins before it gets to the inner fin. But it can be done.

I would highly suggest AGAINST coating anything in an oven that you cook it. You should have a dedicated oven just for this.
