Generally, if you have surface contamination on alloy, neither Hi-Tek nor conventional Powder coatings will provide success, as lubes used, generally, will minimise good wetting/adhesion of coatings to the alloy.
Industries, who powder coat, only apply coatings on clean dry materials for best results.
