Would it be suitable to powdercoat bench vises, after degreasing and
sandblasting of course?

Suitable is in the eye of the beholder!

Grab a powder coating kit from HF or Eastwood and play with it?

Suitable, a little extreme, perhaps, but it's your money...if powder coat is
what floats your boat, anchors aweigh.

I wouldn't, Iggy. Powdercoating is flammable and the fumes are toxic.

I've heard rumors of some folks using their bench vise and torch to
to heat bend steel. Gasses liberated from burning powdercoat can mess
up your olfactory glands for *months*. I know that from personal,
first hand experience.

It would work very well and it is less expensive than paint. I did the bench
and chip tray on my 13x40 lathe 5 years ago and it is severely abused with
sharp, hot chips and all kinds of solvents and oils. It is still perfect.

To me tools that show honest wear suggest an experienced craftsman,
ones with a perfect finish imply a beginner, a tool museum, or someone
making delicate parts for a clean room.

Could also be that he's gong to be practicing powder coating, so
he can do the "touch-ups" himself.

Cost less than the non-powdercoated, and who cares? Not like what it
looks like matters.

Not to you., maybe. But if he wants to paint it pea green and tie
a pale blue ribbon around it - well, it is his money, and he is the
one who has to look at it.

Powder coat some vices?

Ok... hey really only drinks on days that end in Y.

Or how about.

His drug addiction isn't so bad. When he gets totally wasted he quits
stealing from his neighbors for a while.

Oh wait you said powder coat not sugar coat. My bad.
