Re: Designing for Powder Coating

Another thing to note if you are doing a light color (say fluorescent yellow) things like sharpie and the material call out printed on your parts will show through your powder.

Like 254 we anodize all tight tolerance parts.

For clean up we have found that rivet holes especially 1/8" have to be reamed. Masking parts typically makes for a cleaner look than sanding/filing off powder.
