Hi everyone
I want to get my rear control arms powder coated black soon. What I don't want to do is remove my rear original rubber busings as they are in really good shape! Will the bake dry process damage the bushings? thanks |

If you do powdercoat, I’d mask the area that the bushing sits in. Powder usually has a much higher film build thickness. The cheap paint they put on those parts at the factory was probably less than a mil thick. Powder coating can range to about 4 or 5 miles depending on the application, person applying, product, etc. the added film thickness could make installing the new bushings a PITA.
