I dont know if the powder coat will stick to the carbon fibe frame, but you might have an aluminum one. But anyways take it to the dealers forum. You will get your answers

the powdercoat will only go on the body and rail and foregrip, and maybe the reg casing on the back. go to a company, there are many listen in the dealers forum, just search, and you can see how much it will take

Powdercoating involves running a charge thru the item and baking it. 2 things that can't be done to a stock frame.

cause the part has a negative charge and the powder gets a positive charge so they get stuck together. The trigger frame cant be negativly charged, so therefore, it can't be coated.

Then it gets baked for a while, and the frame would melt during that even if you could coat it.

No, anodizing is where you soak aluminum in electrified acid, then soak it in dye.

The stock trig frames(which it appears that is) arn't metal, so you can powder coat them(the won't hold a charge).

It appears to be a stock frame with a double trigger put on it. If it is metal, you can powder coat it. If it is the fiber frame(or whatever the hell they are), you can't powdercoat it.

on further inspection, the tf is made of poor quality plastic or carbon fiber. lol
