No way to keep the powder out of the internal surfaces unless you're very good at taping the frame.

I just left a company that had a powder coat line and it was a delicate operation on close tolerance parts.  We were making parts far more critical than firearms tolerances and the powder can be a real pain in the ass to control.  Too many variables with temperature, humidity and powder type/manufacturer to bother with.

Try the Duracoat or just plain bluing if you're dealing with an all steel gun or anodizing for aluminum.

The powder coating is thicker than something like Cera-Kote.
