Emblems powder coat out gassing issue

Leanna has done all my powder coating so I discussed her doing my early A pot metal 4 speed bezel. As she told me, it's basically a crap shoot when doing pot metal as the OP found out.

As 66Dvert mentioned, cleaning out and filling all the pits prior to any chrome (or maybe even powder coating) is a must for a great finish. I suspect @CudaChick1968 - Leanna - will chime in on the subject. I trust her explicitly to tell me what can and cannot be done.
