Clear coat or not
Yes I could tell when I picked it up that they used a coarse media I was in touch with my powder coating guy today and unfortunately there is a 2 week turn around time but he will try and push it through. I know all about off gassing as I do a lot of tig welding and depending on the size of the part I have an oven I use just for that purpose and I clean all aluminum pieces with Acetone only. Thinking about just putting it on as is just for the summer and then when the engine and trans come out this winter send it and a boat load of other parts down to my guy.
Thanks for all the response
