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 bought a powder coating gun from Harbor Freight and a used smoker from craigslist. I setup a cardboard box as a spray booth. Easy as Pie. The best thing about doing your own powdercoating is that it takes no time. I media blast my parts, pre-heat in the smoker, hang the parts off of a rack, spray, cook and once they are cool you can install them.
