Hey, I have an 88 250R and I have stock A-Arms I would like to know if I could powder coat them with out messing something up.

 

Not a problem... You should tear her down and do the frame while you are at it... If you have the stock front bumper do it to match the A arms.

 

But will i mess up the ball joints or the seals from the heat

 

You will want to remove all hardware. It is a good time to replace parts with new anyway.

 

They powder coated my ball joints on accendent before. Didnt really mess them up. But yea thak your ball joints off if you can. I think the 88's are welded to the arms on the top. just tell them not to paint them. besides that your cool.

 

also remove all grease and rubber seals.

everything goes in a oven at 350+ for a while so grease will run and rubber will melt. both are a no no.

some people have gotten things powder coated so much and in turn sandblasted multiple times i have heard of center caps on car wheels not fitting anymore, but i dont think you should have any problems as long as you're nice to the guys. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
