Or overalls,  I once went to drop off a radiator for powdercoating, The owner of the shop came out and he had been powdercoating some wheels a nice hue of Green.  To say he looked like the hulk is an understatement.

I've built a few meat smokers and a lot of the concepts are the same here.  People regularly build smokers out of any large metal container they can find.  Refrigerators make a great choice if you pull out any plastic/fiberglass.  Old 250gal oil tanks too.  Put a decent thermostat on the door, set some propane heat either inside or in a sidebox, and you can learn to get a very consistent temperature in there with a 20lb propane tank and an inline needle valve.

An old 250gal heating oil tank would make a dead perfect DIY powdercoat oven and easily be large enough for pinball siderails.  And doing it with propane would be a ton easier than trying to use electricity from both a control and fuel perspective.
