[Shotimes] SFC installation questions

[Ron Porter]

Yeah, I don't see how some paint, or even powdercoating, would affect a
weld, that stuff will vaporize instantly. Oh, I'm sure if you are a truly
anal welder you would insure that the pieces are immaculately clean, but I
really doubt it matters much.

I had also painted mine prior to installation.  The guy that welded mine
just welded right through the paint.  Don't know if that's such a great idea
or not, but they haven't fallen off yet.
