Powdercoating
Why are you supposed to use a non-food oven? What's wrong with baking the parts in the kitchen oven?

That's messed up. It says right in the manual that...
"Are any toxic fumes generated during the cure"?
"As with any coating process you must cure the powder in a ventilated area. The powder does not contain the VOC's (volatile organic compounds) associated with solvent based aerosol coating but you may notice a slight odor as the metal is heated to 400F"
The manual doesn't really even answer it's own question.

That is messed up.
The other problem with the kitchen oven is that most of them won't fit any decent sized parts like intakes and stuff.

When i worked at a custom powdercoating shop the oven pushed a lot of air inside as well. I would never use home oven for powdercoating.
