Painting inside of front crossmember

Anyone have tips on how to paint the inside of the crossmember, there are some tight spots and it is hard to reach? Would powder coating work?

Powdercoating works very well for it since you can get the gun in there and the electrical charge attracts the powder to the cracks and crevices very well. No worries about runs either if you lay it on too heavy.

Thanks for that.

I call a powdercoating company and they wanted to look at the crossmember, but if the stuff migrates and you can spray a bunch in there, that definitely sounds like the way to go.
