I was wondering if anybody tried to powder coat an aluminium mold for a carbon part. It's a vacuum bag part and is not going to the autoclave.
Just thinking a light coat to cover small scratches and after a +/_ 1000 sandpaper

Its not something we have experimented with so it would be hard to tell how well powder coat would work with release agents.  I would have thought that you could polish the aluminium to a better surface than powder coating could ever achieve.
