I have my radiator support, hood hinges, inner fenders, about anything that bolts to the frame powdercoated. Just make sure they break it loose (on hinges) as she comes out of the oven.
I would attach pics, but the board won't support that right now.

I have also had powder coating done, we did the frame, the axles, radiator support, all the engine brackets, alt, a/c ect. batterybox, and I will have more done when I can get more $$$$ out of the lovely wife.
 IMO it is totally worth it. It looks really good and it last a long time. I payed $2000.00 for all the work I mentioned above. I went with the silver vain for the frame, and all cross members and black for the axles. I love it now if I could only get it back togeather. Good luck and have fun, LandonEDIT: There are pics of the progress at the bottom of my post. kevins 4X4
