Powder Paint Question

[tuna boy]

I buy small quantities of powder paint for fishing lures. You heat a jig head with a heat gun, dip in powder and hit with the heat gun again to smooth out the paint. Could I do the same for my valve covers on my 1100?. How would I get the powder on evenly before the final warm up?
Where could I buy powder paint in larger quantities? The fishing lure powder paint is $9 for 2 ounces.
If I need to bake the valve covers in the wife's oven how much will it smell up the house.
Thx

Been told she WON"T LIKE IT, :nea: smell's supposed to be pretty bad, even with an exhaust fan going, & wife gone for the day, house will reek, when she returns. :hi: Friend has an old stove in the garage, & uses that, with a fan for exhaust, to do weapons powder coat, & blueing. :builder: Says stink is still BAD, but house does not smell. :salute:

How about using my gas grill? Pretty easy to control the temp and I could toss in some hickory chips after the powder to kill the smell. Thinking that maybe the fumes are toxic??
Might have to consider spray paint with an oven bake @ 250 degrees after the spray. Have done this on BMW twin valve covers and worked good.

You can make an oven pretty cheap. Here`s one from another forum.

Using a grill or house oven I'd be concerned about cooking in it after but used grills could be had cheap also. Use it only for cooking the paint.
