The facility I work at has a 35' X 40' oven and they have it running nonstop. I'm helping them build a new automatic PC system with oven this summer, but that's not the point. I talked to the owner and they pay around $4.50 / lb for the powder they are shooting. But they have to buy it in 100lb amounts. If you have the need for a lot of the same color go for it, and buy big. But for those custom jobs, such as 3 coats on a valve cover, most big shops wouldn't tackle a job like that. Those are left to those of us who do it more for the enjoyment than to make a pretty $.01!!
