It's been a while since I have been on here but here goes with my 2 cents. I thought this through a couple of times before I came to the realization that powder paint is just as durable if you pass it back through your heat source after painting it. There is really no need to bake the jig to harden it. Second, I have drilled out holes for weedguards after painting and I have also tried teflon tubing. Both were way too time consuming so what did I do? I started painting my jigs with the base hole pin in place. After I have coated the jig I removethe pin and glue/epoxy my guard. No more drilling out the hole. I assume most of you, like me, have several base hole pins laying around. If the paint builds up on the pin after several jigs just burn it of with your torch or heat source you are using to paint with.
