Yes I think it can be taken far enough apart to powder coat
You would have remove the glass from its frame, powder coat it and the reinstall the glass

The biggest problem I see is the possible chipping of the powder coat when reassembly and the problems in touching up the powder coating.

I put a few layers of tape over the glass to protect it, and sandblasted the metal. Then I used self etching primer and then three coats of VHT (satin black) Epoxy Paint.

The reason I used self etching primer was because some of the parts painted where chromed and some stainless steel. The self etching primer was recommended for painting chrome and stainless steel.

Possibly epoxy primer could be used and what ever type of top coat you want.

Hope this helps you out

Bruce
