The part is heated and electrically charged to attract the paint. The paint melts and fuses to the heated part. It can be a very tough finish depending on the paint composition. I have several powder coated bicycle frames that will dent under a hammer blow but the paint will not be marked. It takes a very talented operator to evenly coat small delicate pieces such as camera parts.
