Powder Coat - DIY?

For those that have done power coating at home, a few questions.
I know, YouTube is my friend, but wanted to ask here first.
I have a few small aluminum brackets I would like to powder coat, figured with all the DIY kits I could do it myself at home. Eastwood comes to mind, I'm sure there are others.
As a GM of a MFG. company I have multiple resources (plating vendors) to get this done professionally, and probably for free, but I like to learn and I get satisfaction of DIY-ing it.
So...
  1. Kit recommendations?
  2. Relatively easy?
  3. Plan on using my home over to bake - Does it stink up the joint? I know I shouldn't use my kitchen oven!
  4. Any other tips/pointers are welcome.
Thanks for any help.
