If your issue is like mine, then this a workaround. The good news is that you wont have to delete your db.

Check that there isn't some other model that uses this model as a reference.

django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such column: parts_part_type.blah

This was only happening to me because I had another model called "product" in a different app called "products" that referenced this model.

part = models.ForeignKey("parts.Part", related_name="some part", limit_choices_to={'part_type':Part_Type.objects.get(prefix='PART')},)

My solution was:

1. comment out the other app (in this case prodcuts) from settings.py
2. python manage.py makemigrations; python manage.py migrate
3. un-comment the other app so its enabled again.
4. python manage.py makemigrations; python manage.py migrate

Technically I think I need to change the limit_choices_to reference so
