Sandy's comment about how it should be possible has started me to rethink alternatives. However, all three of the coatings needed are currently sprayed. I have shared photos of my spray coating system during each of my APIS presentations. The equipment includes a spray booth, a heated chamber, and a force air dryer. At that, it is not all of what is needed for a commercial product.
