A method and a plant for powder coating in which objects (2), which are to be powder-coated, are prepared for temporary retention of the powder, whereafter the powder is applied to the object in a layer which is retained on the object until the powder by melting and transformation to a solid state by means of curing is brought to form a coating layer on the surface of the object. The powder is prepared in order to have a low melting and softening temperature, principally below 100 ~C and preferably 60-100 ~C, and comprises an initiator system arranged to bring the powder material to curing under the influence of electromagnetic radiation. The powder prepared in this way is heated on the object to such a temperature that it melts and forms an adherent layer on the coated surfaces of the object. Thereafter, this layer is subjected to the radiation, thus curing it to a coating layer covering the powder-coated surfaces.
