Thanks

Hey Greg, glad you enjoyed following the build thus far. Thanks you.

The powder is sprayed on with a static charge on the metal. They will usually just not spray any areas where the customer doesn't want powder. But if powder winds up in an area it's not supposed to they can easily brush it off or use a small vacuum to remove it before placing the part in the oven.

I didn't really want powder on the door jambs or rockers, but the body guy can simply sand the area and paint over the powder.

Who did the powder coat? That was pretty quick
