I normally skim the excess powder out with a Dremmel Chris. Leaving the open end tubing unmasked ensures the ends are nicely coated

exactly right
nibble the paint off when you fit the cups

the powder coaters where i go sometimes mask it for me and do a poor job. i have told them to cease this folly.

mask the fork threads though. nitromors will fetch it off if you dont mask, but its a bit laborious

MeddlE:
If it's a euro bottom bracket then mask off that thread too.

weston:
your powder coater should mask all this off for you as there is only certain tape you can use for this job, just tell them when you take it..

theRuler:
i have used sticky labels (i have them in abundance) to mask the steerer threads before
and other times just regular tape

So should I tape it up with masking tape or leave it to the powder coater  ???
