Question Full Body Powder Coat?

I have an idea that I don’t think I will ever get around to doing so I figured I would share and see if any of you guys have ever done it/like it. Has anyone ever COMPLETELY powder coated a truck body? Obviously, it would have to be done during a frame off when the cab is bare, bed can be disassembled (maybe not depending on oven size), etc. I don’t think it would be quite pretty enough for a show truck, but a 4x4 that actually sees some trail time but still gets shined up from time to time might be pretty awesome like this. Anybody have any thoughts? Would the finish build up too much for the door and fender gaps? I would consider doing this to my Blazer, but I don’t know if it would be possible because of the size of the tub.
