Where Can I Find Equipment to Powder Coat Tiles?

Where can I find equipment to powder coat tiles? My wife selected a tile for our kitchen and we recently had it installed. Now that it is in place their is a color mismatch between the granite counter and the tile. I am hoping a powder coating would allow the tile to retain its natural stone look while allowing us to change the color. Any help would be appreciated.

The kit to do powdercoating isn't really a DIY at home style of operation.

Besides that, powder is most successfully used on conductive materials, as it uses electrostatics to get the powder to stay in place long enough to heat cure the powder.

But there are flame sprayed powder systems that can spray onto non-conductors, even bricks tiles, glass, and I've seen cardboard coated this way.
But its not a cheap bit of kit either.

Try liquid paint instead?
