If anyone is interested, plastic parts (fiberglass as well) have been being powdercoated for several years now. There are tons of powders available now, low temp stuff (200-250F) is widely available. the main problem with this is the gloss level is not that high though. The real high gloss stuff is only applicable to surfaces that can withstand the 350 or so degree temps.
Typically plastic pieces are powdercoated by either applying an electrostatic primer or they can be flame coated. The flame coating is becoming very common as pretty much anything can be powdercoated, plastic, wood, even cardboard, as long as it doesn't melt or burn under the initial application. Basically the powder is fed into the edge of a flame and applied in a melted state.... uh, like it's a powdercoatingflamethrowerkindathingy.
(no expert here, just that it's kind of an interest to me as I have been putting various coatings on various items for a good bit a years.... not the Holiday Inn Express thing if you were wondering)
