Take it into the sunlight and make sure you can not see any metal If there are any clumps or bumps, brush off the powdercoat and do it again. When you get a smooth coat make sure the powder coat does not touch anything Put in oven and start timer. It usually takes about 20 minutes. It will turn shiny and time about 20 minutes after that point. When time is done turn off oven and open door and let it cool. One it is cool it is done. BTW any sharp corners will chip off so make sure your corners are rounded.
