I suspect the translation for this might be "powder coater". I looked on the net and couldn't find anything for "powder varnisher" - does anyone have any ideas.

Siemens, among others, uses "Lack" to mean enamel, as well as lacquer or varnish (see Bezner).

Thanks to both of you. I had a feeling there might be a special translation for this one and I think "powder enameller" is the best choice. I wasn't happy with "varnisher", as I tend to think of a varnisher as someone who varnishes wood.
