Its kind of a dumb question, I know, but I don't think any of our anodized welds showed cracks (aside from a fall off a ramp in 2007).
The powder coat defiantly will make them more noticeable. The powder coating was not the cause of the crack.

A crack on the powder was a great indication that the weld COULD be a problem.

I am just saying that with the riveted solution, a cracked weld is NEVER a problem!
