Also found a local guy to nickel coat the handlebars, said he'd do it for about $70

"money for an old toaster oven from CL for my powder coating." Please elaborate on how your going to use a old toaster oven for powder coating? Sounds like something pretty cool.....

For powder coating you need to heat your material being coated to 350f-400f. You heat it up, coat it and then bake it for about 15-20 mins

I had to look this up because I had only heard of applying powder coat electrostatically...
--- Quote ---Another method of applying powder coating, called the fluidized bed method, is by heating the substrate and then dipping it into an aerated, powder-filled bed. The powder sticks and melts to the hot object. Further heating is usually required to finish curing the coating. This method is generally used when the desired thickness of coating is to exceed 300 micrometres. This is how most dishwasher racks are coated.

All I could find about heating up before coating. Am I missing something here, Griff?
