I had some aluminum parts powder coated and frankly, I've never been a
big fan of the process.
Too glossy, shows fingerprints easy and to me, it looks like a bad
paint job would -- because you can see
the "globs" when the light hits it just right.

You know, like paint that was put on too thick.

Anyway, I was wondering if a light sanding might make a good surface
for some paint.

Either a Polane 2 part or I have a SW all surface oil based enamel
that I love (which I'll try anyway).

The all surface enamel may work because I know powder coat is
basically a plastic surface and may need something "gentler" than a 2
part professional finish.

Any thoughts?

Depends on the powder coat. My shower door is powder coated. Does not show
finger prints, white may be part of the reason. Had some bubbles form and
painted over them after cleaning with white appliance epoxy. Still looks
good.
