Powder Coat can be used anywhere as long as you have the correct equipment.
Correct Equipment for a WHOLE BODY SHELL is BIG EQUIPMENT.
We powder coat at my office all the time.
Small stuff, anything that will fit in my mom's old oven !
My mom is in an assisted living facility and she didn't need her oven
anymore.
We bought a powder coat system and have gone CRAZY !!!
Coated all kind of things, trash cans, mail boxes, computer covers, tools,
and Triumph parts.
Looks great.

Hi listers,
my better half, Wilf, works for BMW . He knows of the powder coat
mentioned. In his opinion the application of this product is a very
complicated operation and can be done only in a controlled environment,
like a factory setting. The process can only be used on new car parts,
including the whole body shell, due to the high temperature needed for
the application. It can not be done on complete cars, therefor it's
impossible to use for the repair of cars.
