Ooooo... that sounds tempting!

I've been wondering where I might get some small batches of parts done 
for cheap enough, at some paintshop..  now, the DIY bug is itching.

There is a basic powdercoating rig at Harbor Freight, for pretty cheap.. 
$100 now, (think they put it on sale for $70) wonder if it's worth 
getting? Even an 18 x 18 x 18" oven for $400 if you can't score at 
Goodwill or the dump..  ;-)

Anyone have direct experience with one of these?
