Default Gonna paint my a-arms! Powdercoat?

Hey guys I bought an xtra set of aarms a while back on ebay! I am sanding them down now & just wondered what you all suggest as far as the paint. Another dumb question what is powdercaot exactly? Sorry I'm a bit ignorant in the paint department (ok maybe not just paint). I'm learning though give me time. SO back to the aarms what do you all suggest? Any reinforcment needed? Thanks

i wouldnt paint it... its worth the extra for powdercoat... powdercoating is a process that involves applying colored powder on the frame and then baking it at a high temp to make the color stay on better and gives it a darker color... powdercoat is also alot harder to scrape off... hope that helped...

if powdercoating them, make sure you remove the bushings from the a-arms or the coating process will bake all the greas out of them and ruin them.

They require a special method of getting them out and put back in...I had my local dealer do the removal and re-install for me.
