I'm about ready to powdercoat a cookie cutter, and I am wondering if I should mask off the lug nut seats. What about the backside, where it contacts to the hub/rotor?

I would keep the powder off of all of the "precision machined" surfaces. That includes the center bore, the lug nut seating surfaces, and the back of the wheel where it sits on the hub. The powder has a specific thickness, and is very definitely not guaranteed to go on perfectly evenly. That means it will change the shapes and dimensions of these parts by a small and quasi-random amount. Probably not a good thing where tight tolerances have been maintained...
