Default Powdercoating and color suggestions?

I'm in the process of fixing up my banshee. I've got it down now to the frame. I'm going to have the frame powdercoated. I just bought all new Yamaha Blue plastic for it and was wandering what color would look good for the frame. Has anybody ever heard of powdercoating a-arms with non removable ball joints. The guy I spoke with said he's done them before by taping them off first and just painting the taped area afterwards to match the rest. I didn't know the ball joints could take that kind of heat. He said he greases them afterwards and never has had a complaint yet. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Dennis

HEY used to work in a shop that powder coated .the temps used are not really that extreemsome where in the 400 degree range enough for the pores in the metal to open up so the powder bonded to it . if he's done it before i'd trust him .

Generally you want a color from from the opposite end of the spectrum. Yellow, white, orange, bright red, flouresent colors would all look good with the blue plastic.
