I’m not sure if some, most or none of Lancair’s
engine mounts are Powder Coated but Steve Loree of Loree Air says it is a very
bad idea. The thick and flexible coating applied during Powder
Coating will hide a crack. He strips and then paints all mounts he
repairs with White Polyurethane for that reason.

The
point is, to look at the paint on the welds very closely. If there is the
least wrinkle, investigate further.
