When installing fasteners on powder coated items I notice that the powder coating can crack and peel off at the fastener contact. Would it not be better to prep the metal with sand blasting etc. as with powder coating and spray a good etching primer or galvanizing primer and then top coat. When installing fasteners on this application there is not as much damage to the surrounding area. just MHO

I powder coat my parts, but I pay my guy extra to plug all the threaded holes.
If they were not plugged it's best to run a tap through all the holes. For me PC is a no brainer, I drop the rusty parts off, they call me 1-2 weeks later and I go pick up the shiny parts. |
