I do bike frames and doesn't take more than 1 Lb to finish each coat
for candy colors you will need chrome powder as base and then top coat

you have to consider you will need and oven for it to fit inside and that alone is a lot of money even buying an IR lamp would be more than just paying some one to coat it. and on top of that you will need to blast it , the gun, and the powders and most of all a lot of practice cuz if you screw up stripping powder coat from a frame is and pain.

if you are going to do it your self and only do this frame you are better off having some one else do it for you

once you have everything set up a frame can be done for around $30 + blasting wich I most of the time have some else do it.

as for the guns you don't have to worry caswells hobby gun will work great
