  • Do any of you coat an assembled welded frame?

Thanks very much!
In the past we have been able to get them back in two days, but this year will likely be 4 days due to the shop being busier. We plan to take ours in this coming Monday, or Tuesday at the latest. We usually try to do everything in one batch, although we might need to go for a second round this year. We coat welded frames, but nothing bolted together during coating.
