I also read that there is another technique when you don't have the electrostatic powder sprayer.

You bake the part uncoated first and then take it out and immediately spray the powder coat but being carefull no to put it on too thick.

It melts onto the part immediately and then you still need to put it in the oven again to complete the baking process.

Doing it this way solves the problem not having the static electricity to hold the paint on the part initially.

This technique also helps with aluminum parts to reduce the out gassing that occurs when baking as the part is already hot and out gassed BEFORE you apply the powder coat and reduces the bubbles, orange peeling, fish eyes, rabbits feet, wolf bane and other assorted things ending up in your finish.
