Powder Coating - has anyone tried it?

Eastwood advertises Hi-temp Lab metal. Says it is great for filling before powder coating.

I have a 45k25 I've been 'almost finished' restoring for about 7 years now. I had the head soda blasted then powdercoated. I'm very happy with the finish. It's a good gloss black, excellent film thickness with just a tiny bit of orange peel effect that can be seen in originals.
Things I wish I'd done differently are having the head done all as one piece (which is how they were done originally but I ended up separating the arm and top for soda blasting and should have just left it as it was; and being a bit more explicit with the powdercoaters about what exactly needed masking and what didn't, because there are a couple of surfaces that didn't get masked which should have been.

Overall I'm very happy with the result. It takes decals well and at some point I'll get around to finishing the decals and clear coating it.
