The biggest thing with powdercoating is prep work. Even if you have all the metal stripped, it needs to be prepped properly. My works powder line have a 3 stage wash system that clean the parts, and then the parts go into a oven to get preheated before the powder is applied. Then off to the bake oven.
We have a burn off oven for baking paint off, then it needs to be DA'd clean, before hanging the part on the line. Even with sand blasting, the parts need to be DA'd smooth. If not the water from the wash never fully comes out of the metal, until the final bake in the oven. Then it looks rough.
