Silver 7 - I did have the springs and traction bars powdercoated. For the springs I took them 100% apart then had to reassemble them. It was a pain in the @ss but it looks great once done. Again I would have it all powdercoated once you are sure you have everything mocked up and are happy with it.

It will be the best decision you make. I will encourage you to take a look at your local powdercoaters work ahead of time. We have a couple withing 20-30 miles from me that do OK work, BUT I took mine some 3hrs away because their work was flawless AND CHEAPER !!!!! Do some research.

Good luck and keep up the progress
