it depends on what you wana do,

if you want to strip your down, definatley powder coat it, cause it will last a long time, alot longer than paint.

anything else you do wil be a waste of time in the long run, just spend the few bucks and have it powdercoated,

you need to talk to pappy hes real resonable and 1 of the best.

1. Do you have access to a PC shop near you in the UK? If so, try chatting with them to see what they can do for you

2. If its just small area's and you do not intend to tear down, then touch the areas up and ride on!

Stock a-arms have non removable ball joints cant powder coat them. Just get some paint that matches the A-arm color.
