powdercoat spindles

I'm contemplating powdercoating my new dropped spindles. Anyone have experience with this? Any problems with doing it?
Thanks.

Re: powdercoat spindles

When I bought my rolling chassis, it already had black powdercoated spindles.
They were flaked in a few spots, maybe due to poor prep.

Done right they will hold up just fine

Re: powdercoat spindles

it's fine to do but really depends on who's doing it// as long as they mask the bearing surfaces and plug the threaded and tapered holes correctly there shouldn't be a problem

Yup, no powedercoat where the bearings and rotor goes. Ask shifty about a powdercoated pitman arm he had (It wouldn't fit because the powercoat's thickness wouldn't allow it to fit over the steering box gear thingy.)
