Yes but not my wifes!! I am on a hunt this weekend for a cheapo built in
oven. I plan on welding some legs to it and maybe fabricating a 3 sided box
on top to spray the powder prior to baking. From what I've heard, the
process seems to go much better if the parts are pre-heated for 10-15
minutes. Fred Thomas also suggested that I weld a four "legs" to a baking
rack that put the rack at close to the max. height it will fit into the
oven. I can then wire the parts to the rack, pre-heat them in the oven, then
lift the whole thing out and up to the "powder booth" on top, powder coat
everything, then right back down  into the oven below just like cookies. I
have to run a 220V line out to the garage but that won't be too bad. About
10 years ago we switched from all electric to gas so there is a 220V outlet
for the old electric stove in the kitchen floor that I can relocate fairly
easy.
Sounds easy at this point but we all know it never is, especially since I
said it would be easy! Idiot!!
Wish me luck!
