Re: powdercoating/bushing instal
 
I know its a little late now, but if its not a show truck i dont powder anything that can get hit with a rock. rust can grow under it and then it starts to chip off in larger parts. with that being said. clean to bare and coat with por15 if brass . If they are urithane or rubber then you should be able to press in.
