That's how I grind my welds, but my welds are very messy. Just have a wirefeed welder.

Bake the part before powdercoating?
I read that a convection oven is best. Do you use a convection oven?
Is powdercoating primer necessary when the metal is sufficiently rough?
Also read that some powdercoating paints are more porous than others. I got the MATTE BLACK from Harbor Freight. It was the only black they had. Not sure how good it is, but if it lasts 4-5 times as long as paint I'll be happy!
I'm using a mig too. That powdercoating process was described to me by the shop I went to for some of my larger parts. I can tell you the finish is much more durable than what I did myself with just powder over clean metal.

if i get the gas for my welder im going to try it , nathan from porterbuild showed it to me this way too but i gues it takes practice to run realy nice welds the way he does them
Those drawings show how to blend welds smooth with a flap disc.
