I got a powder coating gun the other day. I works quite well - I was playing around with some scrap engine parts.
Anything on the 996 you'd powder coat? I can't fit an 18" rim in my oven... but maybe if I built an extension.

If you have stock exhaust tips, you might play with this idea. Powdercoat them gloss black for the "conservative but bad" approach. Or, color-match them to your body color for that "tuner" look.
You might start a whole new trend.
You might get call$ from Rennlister$ wanting you to do a $et for their car...

Brackets, tow hooks, etc. Small things that need a durable finish.
I'd never powdercoat wheels. Powder hides cracks and if a wheel has a crack I want to see it. Only anno or paint for my wheels.

Next person to pulls an IMS bearing, send it to me, and I'll powder coat it!
Yeah, I don't think the regular color powders will hold up on exhaust tips. The powder flows at 350 degrees F or so... But there are a few ceramic colors: http://www.columbiacoatings.com/category_s/7.htm
I like the lug bolt idea. Definitely going to try that some time - maybe when I put the snow tires on!
