Don't leave any bolts in or anything rubber or plastic on your parts they will melt to living hell in a 400 degree oven. The powdercoating place will plug all the holes that have threads in them so no powdercoat gets in there and they should tape off everything thats not getting powdercoated. Most places will sandblast the parts for you but will also charge you for it. So if you have access to a sandblaster i would definately do it yourself.
