since I dont have an electrostatic gun and powdercoating booth in my garage I use my method. I do however have a compressor , an old kitchen oven that I bought at a garage sale for $10 , a trusty old binks spray gun and a sandblasting cabinet . I am the master of my own destiny.
I worked in the sheetmetal coating biz for years. Dont let anyone fool you. Powdercoating is not inherently better than solvent based paint application. It is environmentally cleaner and is a lot less hassle to get permitting for then high VOC coatings which is why its used so often in industry but a 2 part catalyzed epoxy paint will be more chip resistant and a polymerized cyanoacrylite is a lot tougher than most interlaced polymer "powder coats". Powder coating is just a means of media application . They do tend to be more uniform due to the application process but theres some good liquid application solvent based coatings out there you can apply at home that will blow any industrial powder coating away for durability and gloss.
