Best advice I could give you is find somewhere to powdercoat them that knows what their doing as they should mask the areas needed.

Knock the bearings and spacer out the front wheel and tell them no powdercoat on the area where the disc bolts on and no powdercoat on the area where the locating dowels are on the rear as it's a major ballache removing after :(
