Sort of. Surface has to be stripped and cleaned. Electrical current is run through the item, you spray it with the powder and then bake it at 400 for a while. The powder melts. We do it at my shop.

Ha well as long as you want wrinkle black or sky white, and do the masking yourself

Kinda what I meant. I don't know why I said cooked instead of typical powder coating. My brain doesn't work sometimes (seems to be more frequent as of late).

If you're interested, I'll send you some shots of the process. We're pretty bare bones here - no automated racking or spraying systems that you'd find at some bigger facilities, but that's also what allows us to have the flexibility for 1-offs (like coating my charge piping wrinkle black).

I'd have to talk to the team lead in that area, but if there were interested persons here who were either ok with our stock color selection or were willing to supply their own, we could probably do it for you. I wouldn't suggest it with wheels or something external and with a very high degree of cosmetic importance, since we're not climate controlled (the powder is very hygroscopic and there is a lot of variation in warm humid weather), but for engine bay components or stuff from your undercarriage, it'd look great.
