This is what I do ;

1. clean and prep part
2. preheat oven to 400
3. put part in oven
4. pregas time depends on the part, new part or part that never had grease or oil on it like quad a-arms something steel that never has came in contact with grease or oil I just go a cure cycle like 20 to 30 min.. Something like a used aluminum valve cover h@ll I heard up to hours never did one.
5. remove part (DO NOT TOUCH) let cool to about 120 to 150
6. shoot part
7. return part to oven now what I do is wait until the powder is flowed out then start the timer for what ever the powder says all the powder i have done was 20-25 min. I do 25 min. from that point. I mean I could be wrong I've never checked the part temp but I think it's there.

I did my kids 16" bike that way he rides it at the motocross track between motos and jumps off and lets it roll until it falls over and it still looks good to me.

hope this helps
