Akash we have three sponsors that gladly donate their time.

The first guy doesn't care, the PC place is apart of the company I work for. He basically will shoot anything we give him and we'll receive it back within 4 hours. So we have to do all the prep work, mainly just clean and debur parts. Which we have learned to do anyways.

The 2nd/3rd place really cares about detail, we do zero prep work and we receive the parts back in 1wk. They'll clean/sandblast parts along with do multiple coats... Which is a good and bad thing. We only give them parts when we don't care about timing and the our go to guy is backed up.

I'd honestly speak with your powdercoating place, the best thing to do is to just have it prepped ready to go. It makes their life easy and they'll be much happier. Plus they'll turn around the part hella fast.
