Powder coating and masking lugs
I came across an old Windsor professional. It is orange, and the paint is no good. I want to repaint it, but I do not have 600 for a respray, so I was thinking about a powder coat. However, I am worried about the lugs. Has anyone successfully masked off the lugs for powder coating?

Seek out a professional who knows how to do it right , the masking has to go thru the blasting surface prep
for clean untouched metal..
and then Its a rubbery tape, so the blasting media bounces off..

The powder coater will do it. They do that kind of stuff every day.
You want a guy who does custom auto, motorcycles and firearms. You do not want a job lot shop where your part will be mixed in with 300 washing machine lids or fifty lawn chairs.
A good coater can mask anything you want. Two tones, fades, metallic, crinkle, glow in the dark, lettering, clear coat, marble... doesn't matter.
