I'm a huge fan of satin black powder coating. Looks great and relatively easy to do in my garage (sandblast, apply the powder & bake). However sometimes powder coating is simply too thick and I'm not good enough to apply it light enough to get good coverage with out creating an interference problem with the mating components. I recently pick up a free electric range and ran another 220 line so I wanted to give CERAKOTE a try. There are a lot more steps involved (sandblast, gas out in the oven, soak in acetone, spray CERAKOTE, bake)
