Hotcoat vs. Powdercoat

Can anyone tell me the difference between hotcoat and powdercoat, or are they the same thing?

They both use powder paint. The difference is that powder coating is applied through a standard electrostatic gun onto a grounded part. The hotcoat gun sprays the powder through a heater of some kind and the paint is actually gelling as it is applied, as it cools off on the part it should adhere and be cured.
