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

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.
