issues with powdercoating fuji track comp

i did some searching but as always, the forum search function sucks imo, i searched google style and still didn't find a specific answer.

question: is there anything to be concerned about, or anything i should tell my powdercoater, when powdercoating an aluminum frame? specifically an 09 fuji track comp.

any paint stripping methods he should AVOID?

bike frame only, no wheels or cranks or hubs...

thanks in advance, hopefully i don't get ripped a new one

no but there is a huge issue with powder coating a carbon fork. I had a langster and I called about 10 places no one will touch it.

yep, just the frame, so it can be stripped and powdercoated any which way he is familiar with?

i mean, he's done a zillion bike frames, and all kinds of car wheels for me, aluminum and forged and everything in between and they've always turned out great
