Coating LCAs & knuckles: Where NOT to powdercoat? Due to rust in the front, upper control arms I decided to remove and have stripped & powder coated my OEM front suspension parts. So that's two lower LCAs (two pieces), two upper LCAs (four pieces), and both steering knuckles (two pieces). I told the shop to tape off only the machined edges on the steering knuckles where the wheel hubs and brake calipers attach.
Should more be taped off? Like the hole in the lower LCAs for the ball joints and holes for all the bushings
Should less be taped off??

it would be good if they could avoid getting powder coat in the ball joint holes especially, and the bushing holes. You can sand it out of course, but it would be better to just not have it there at all.
I went the same direction, media blasted and powder coated the oem stuff.
