Powder coating motors

Exactly, low temp powder and you're good. The powder I used was rated at 400* but I turned the temp to 300* and doubled the time in the oven. I've opened the motor up since the powder coat, and I've had zero issues. As long as your surface is clean, the powder will stick, my brother has powder coated a valve cover and it was, at the time, too big for our oven, he used a heat gun and simply heated the thing from the outside only. He's had no flaking since then.
