Harbor Freight has the best price on powdercoating kit, < 50.00. Oven needs to be electric, not gas and capable of reaching and holding @ 400*F.
If you plan to powdercoat the MC you will need to disassemble it completely, the rubber seals will not take the heat, and plug or cover any/all machined surfaces. You will NOT be able to powdercoat the booster tho since you can't take it apart to remove the diaphram(s). I'm using a polished stainless booster and aluminum MC so I don't have to worry.
