Any suggestions anyone?

The painter can put the gun on a point pattern so the gun is spraying almost a straight line so he can spray down the inside rails.

We flood the inner rails and then let it sit 15 minutes or so and wipe up anything that runs out of crevises if it puddles, then we spray the outer frame

Powder coat won't go as far as paint will.
