Background
Power coating is the way to paint metal like bicycle frames, art pieces, etc. to produce beautiful results, a smooth surface with unlimited color and pattern varieties. Check out any bicycle frame that isn't carbon fiber and it's probably powder-coated. A background of powder coating can be found on Wikipedia here.
Wait, hold up, haven't we already done this?
Yes, back in 2017: [[1]]. The result is an unfinished project that, if it were to be completed, is far too big for members to use reasonably. You can see the state of the unfinished oven in the dock, behind the parts of the soon-to-be assembled paint booth.
The idea of powder coating is a good one, and results can be absolutely fantastic and really take your metal projects to the next level, but as the current one is unfinished, too big for the space, and would need to be cut down to be moved to the other side of the dock to make room for the paint booth, makes it untenable.
So what's the 2.0 idea?
To purchase a smaller unit that is already assembled.
Language
We authorize the Board of Directors to spend up to $2500 on a powder coating oven. We further authorize the board to permit the disassembly and disposal of the current, unfinished oven.
