I bent up some 1/4 threaded rod to make a stand that stuck through the fork tube, seat post, and crank case, and blasted it with powder. I lined the BBQ (propane) with tin foil and poked a few pin holes through it and pre-heated it.

The frame came out great, except that I missed a few nooks and crannies with the powder. Also, it was difficult to maintain a temperature. It was constantly climbing or dropping and I could never dial it in.
