Default DIY Powder Coating

I have ordered some wheels and they only come in black powder coated spokes. I want to change them to silver. Powder coating seems the best way to go.
Eastwoods sells several small kits and I am wondering if they are usable for items as big as wheels? Can you cure them in the kitchen oven....if the wife isnt home....?

How much would I have to pay if I had them done professionally?

I had my first set of Rotora BBK's powder-coated. iirc it was $500-600 for 4 calipers and 4 rotor hats. This was probably about 8 years ago though

My understanding is you can cure them in the kitchen oven.....if you have already ordered a replacement that will also be delivered while your wife is not home.
