Google heat lamps for powder coating there is a video for curing powder coat for items to large for an oven. Amazon has two that are 24 in. in length for around $50.00. If you do not have the powder coat painting equipment Harbor Freight has one that works pretty good I cant remember the price but not bad. Give it a try, it will still be cheaper then having a shop do it and you will have the equipment for more coating work in the future.

I can see that the pieces you offer on eBay would lend themselves to powder coat, as they have a common coated area lower than the corresponding perimeter. Basically what I'm saying is that you don't need to mask anything off. These moldings are not like that, they have areas that must be masked and coated and baked. Admitting that I don't understand the whole process, how would you bake the coating with tape in place? Would it not "bake' onto the chrome like the powder would? I would think the tape would be tough to get off once exposed to enough heat to set the powder. However, I can see powder coating the inset areas like the blue/red triangles, but not the bottom black surround line. I think I need to look at some YouTube videos
