    How hard and expensive was it to get started?
    I've watched the powdercoating process a few times and thought about trying to learn how but figured the equipment would be expensive.

    not bad the most expensive part is the oven, as with all things the big set up the more money. you could get started for a couple hundred and spend several grand if you want. I have about $100 invested but I allready had a compressor and blast cabinate , of course now I want a biger compressor, blaster and oven.
