I am alomst ready for the frame to go to the powdercoaters and need to know how smooth it needs to be, let me explain. I welded up most of the non used holes in the sides and top of the frame rails plus boxed the whole rear of the frame, how smooth does the frame need to be, will the powdercoat fill in any grind marks?? What if I use a ""tiger whhel" is that smooth enough? How can I test what it will look like before I send it, is just spraying spray paint over it give me a good representation of the final look?

Very confused on how much additional work I need to do to make this thing look good.

thanks guys
