i do.
i use eastwood's stuff and its real simple. i did exactly what you were talking about for an oven. its a good amount of work (especially for proper metal prep), but i feel its worth it.
here's an example:

I also use the Eastwood System and my wifes' old electric oven as our new house has gas oven. You definitely don't want to use your oven that you currently use for cooking
Don't see why the Sears gun wouldn't work fine - cost isn't too bad...
DV8- when you did yor calipers, did you disassemble them first or just mask off the critical components? Always wondered if the seals in the calipers could take the PC cure temps.

I get all my supplies from caswellplating.com. I got the harbor freight powder coat oven 2 years ago on sale. It gets hot enough to cure ceramic coating as well. I find I use it for a lot of things. Pre heating aluminum for tig welding or just general paint drying.
