powdercoating shocks and struts
has anyone done this?
my concern is that they go into a 450 degree oven, and i'm thinking the oil might break down at that heat. whaddya think?

Yeah watch out....Powder coating was the original issue with the Airlift struts that locked up..... They cooked them too hot and trashed the seals. I am sure it can be done, maybe a low temp powder?
