Yes, if done right. You'd want them stripped back and prepared well, just like any paint.

When powder coating they just leave it in an acid bath overnight to strip all the **** off it, then coat it - hence the need to remove all bearings and bearing surfaces. Headraces need to be pressed in, which is a pain to do if you don't have the right equipment or you end up paying more!

than screaming in terror like his passengers.- Jim Harkins
