so i had my allegro ninja powder coated (went with the dark gray matte), and the painter sealed off the bb prior to painting, but it seems like there is a bit of paint in some places in the first 1-2 threads... I can't thread the cups into the shell... should i use a paint stripper or something to get it out of the way? Could it be something else (other than paint) keeping this bb from going back in? The threads on the cups themselves look fine...

should i just take it to my lbs and have them tinker with it?
