However, larger parts like marquee retainers would require a really big oven, bigger than a regular house-hold oven. And that would take up the same space as a cab.....;)

You might be able to get away with retainers in a household oven if you took out the racks. Complication here is that you have to hang the part so it's not sitting on anything. Maybe if you suspended it diagonally with two hooks. I'm in the process of working this stuff out right now. Just had an electrician out to spec out the work to put power out to my shed. Included in the plan is a 240v outlet for an old electric oven for powdercoating.

Eh, we got 230 V al around here :) When you're cooking electrically you get 360 V around here :D
Retro: Can't believe they sent it AGAIN wrong packaged. I'm sorry but this is sure cautioning me away from Phoenix for the future.
Making a mistake can happen. Repeating a mistake is plain stupid.
Spyridon:
That powder coating kit looks pretty cool. I've got my sandblasting kit at my Uncle's garage. He just happens to have an old working over there. I think I may try that out.
This piece looks great:
Did you remove the stickers or just cover them up?
Level42:
I guess if he hadn't removed them they wouldn't have survived the oven ? It would also be better to cover the entire frame with powder coating and not leave the parts under the sticker uncovered.
Just my guess of course...

Yup... can't really powder coat without a total sandblast and strip. I peeled the stickers off and reapplied them... they look like crap... I scanned the whole surface w/stickers before I sent it off to be refinished and sent the image to TOG.... TOG typically has various repro decals and such so I figured what the heck. There is most likely zero demand for this sort of thing... but whatever... at least I scanned it right?
"I heartily agree with you sir"
