Powdercoating enclosures (procedure)

[peterv999]

I've found an address of a guy who powder-coated one of my enclosures with a perfect layer of paint. However, the toplid and the enclosure came back with too much paint between them (like glued). I'm wondering if someone who is "in the known" could let me know what process steps are required to make this a perfect job assuming the color is covering the area between the lid and the enclosure? Obviously a full external/internal paintjob could be done...but it's a puzzle for me.

If you hang the enclosure so the powder gets inside the box via an open end then you'll
get a coated or semi-coated inside box and lid. Most people use this method,

You either need to scrape off some of the coating inside the box or find a different method
which most painter's aren't willing to try.
I use a metal bracket that holds the box in position so the open side is down and I hold the
gun above the box for the most part so powder falls on the box.

Powder coating isn't so much a gravity process, static electricity is what attracts the
powder to the object being coated. But some powder does fall via gravity so...
