I had my frame and a bunch of brackets powder coated.
First they were sandblasted:

Also look the entire frame over many times, on different days, looking for any imperfections. You have to fix everything before it's coated, or live with it once it's done. Don't get in a rush, take the time to replace the broken rivets, weld the cracks and gouges, and knock out the dents all before you get it coated.
I was not told to break sharp edges. But the nature of the powdercoat is it does not want to cover outside corners or inside cracks/corners. Even so my frame was very nicely coated, could be some folks do a better job than others.
