Well I think I'm going to get my frame and 888 lowers powdercoated, but with the fork, what do I need to take out? The dust seals, oil seals, and anything else? Oil naturally but what else? As for the frame? Should I be worried about the sandblasting harming the frame to much? It's a Ventana El Curevo and I'm thinking about Rust Orange with the lowers and the frame, and swing arm.

Remove anything that can't go in a 500 degree oven. Like everything but metal.

Yeah, sandblasting can chew threw thin aluminum very quickly. Have them sandblast with ground up walnut shells, they're much less harsh.
