Powder coating

I dislike powder coating on parts that get hit with stuff. That said the muscle car company I work at does alot of it. It looks great and holds up better than paint, but it chips and as soon as you get a chip you get rust. Just my little whine. Anyway, why i write is a tip on what you said about the grinding. It's another issue I have against powder coating, but we have to deal with it. Any hole, threaded or not will be coated in it. So for tight things, like Randelator said, swing arm hole, etc. you get to take the crap off. We have been playing with coatings like cosmoline in bearing recess areas. Threads we fine just chasing with a tap/die is easiest and freshens the threads taboot. I would suggest capping off frame holes wherever possible. Something like the rear axle will be particularly fun around the splined area for the disc. You will wind up scraping off the coating to get the disc on. Handle bars will have the same issue where they attach. I can't say whether I'd leave the coating on and attach them or scrape it off and attach. I think scrape off so it's metal to metal.
Powder coating sure looks good. It takes some work though. I'm going to stick with paint. I'd like to get one parkerized and see how that holds up.

i agree , but a good powder coating wont chip thats esely,and the look is unbeatebal (or something like thats)
