Been seeing a number of posts about whether or not to powder coat slide rails. Seems like most agree not to powder coat, secondary to the heating process can make the aluminum weaker. What about the cat spindles? They are aluminum. Something you definitely don’t want weaker and breaking. Powder coat or paint? I like paint because it’s not uncommon for my spindles to take some hits and lose some color during the season and paint is a lot easier to touch up. I don’t know much about metal composition, could the heating process in powder coating weaken the spindle aluminum?
