Powdercoating control arms?
Has anyone here powdercoated the upper/lower control arms and/or knuckle on their vehicle?
If so, post up some pics! Also, any issues with having it done?

Don't recall seeing any posts about powdercoating those pieces - but that's not to say it wouldn't look pretty good. I have seen some pics of those pieces being polished and they looked very good.

That's the other thing I'm thinking about... either having them powdercoated or possibly polished. Pics of either would be great if anyone has some.

I sanded and polished all eight of them then coated all with Sharkhide Metal Protectant. Aluminum tape was wraped around the ball joint rubber seals and studs then they were sandblasted to clean them up before the sanding and polishing. Here's some pictures.
