Make sure the powder coater tapes over the contact areas for the
rotors and bearing seats. As well I would also make sure that they
have also ordered new bearings and seals (for the front wheel at
least)

The numb nuts (Show and Go in Garland, TX) did not tape the those
areas and thus I hand beads powder coated into the threads of the
rotor mounting holes.

So make sure you look at the rims before they touch them and remount
them onto your bike. If they don't look right, ask them for new
rims.
