Grab an old electric stove off the curb and use the oven element and control as the heat source. Build a big insulated box and make your own custom baking oven. Make it big enough to do frames if you decide to get into frame powder coating in the future.

The trouble with powder coating frames is that it takes serious equipment to get the temperature right in an enclosure large enough to do a frame. Hot air rises, so the top is a lot hotter than the bottom, and a frame will cure a lot different on one side than the other. Commercial powder coat ovens have fans and elaborate controls which do just fine, apparently it's very difficult to do in a home made oven.

Engine cylinders and anything smaller are easy to do and turn out great. The only hard part is cleaning the pieces first.
