If some part can't be removed from the component, just have the coater mask it off. Lots of folks don't realize it but powdercoaters can mask anything you ask them to. We use high temp tape that the oven doesn't bother and aluminum foil for more difficult or large areas. It's dead simple if your coater will go to the trouble.

But, on engine brackets like that, just remove the tensioner and idler pulleys and give it hell to all the solid pieces. Paint the delicate items to match. I'd not want to subject any bearings or seals to the heat.
