Power coating

[rubicon]

Do you guys do anything with the welds before you powder coat the frame? ( blend them in etc.)

You can if you like. Blending the weld to a nice fillet does not affect the joint strength.

Just a flap wheel on a 4 1/2" grinder or a conditioning pad in a angled die grinder....I just slick it up some, knock off the BB's, and maybe smooth a ragged start or end on a MIG weld. I don't actually remove any weld material.
1. Needlescaler
2. Flapwheel
3. Weldthru Primer....optional. Its all weldthru when you strike a arc....

Thanks for the help.

I used to build gates that were powder coated after we built them. We just hit the beads with a scotchbrite on a grinder befor sending them to the coating line.
