They can coat your 80% before you finish it or if they have an FFL after you finish it and you Mark it in accordance with the ATF requirements for firearms, Serial number, manufacturer and city/state.

Doing it before it's finished would kinda defeat the purpose wouldn’t it ?

Not really. aesthetically, it doesn’t matter if the cut portion on the inside is silver. When I had a raw 80% anodized, same thing sent an 80%, had it anodized and then I started cutting.

Depends on why you are building from an 80%.
There are a lot of reasons besides just the lack of paper trail.
Buying something off the internet or at a store with a credit card means there is a record..
That all depends on who used his/her credit card and who may have ended up with it.

Hell, everything you buy is recorded and I'm sure NSA has programs that flag 80% purchases. Our AG seems to have inroad's to that information.
Unless you went in person and paid cash and denied them your name and phone number they know what you have, especially if it's gun related.

If you're really concerned about keeping things off the books you'd need to pick up *all* the parts at a gun show and pay cash.
That would give you a reasonable chance not to make a list ( you didn’t drive your own car and park out front thought did you ? Also, this is where those covid masks *can* be effective, there is probably some video recording who enters).
In the real world, everyone I know who would think of building an 80% already has guns they bought through FFLs that have a full paper trail.
If we ever get to where this stuff matters, it won't be about what guns you've got, just that you're a "gun owner".
