I dont know about a kit, But you need some basic shop tools. You need to be able to sand blast the parts, Spray gun to paint, and an oven large enough to bake the barrel/reciever.
If you have a compressor, then a simple blast setup and spray gun are pretty cheap from somewhere like harborfreight. The oven is likely in your kitchen, just make sure nobody else is home and you open some windows. Cerakote flows out really nice when properly mixed, you can use an airbrush or detail gun for application. I wouldnt bother if you dont at least blast the metal with some sort of media.
...also use a good paint mask.
I have used the air cure kit and it worked fine for me. You can buy the cerakote directly from NIC and save a couple of bucks. The hardest thing to come up with was the aluminum oxide in a certain grit. If you have any more questions, post em up.
