Hey Rudy,

This is just my own opinion but the only one who'll know how pristine your seat frames are will be you were you to blast/powder coat them.
After upholstery all you might see will be the track/rails. My suggestion is to sand, primer and paint the seat tracks and rails only, anything else won't be seen.

I know where you're coming from though.......I sold a '69 Chevelle to buy my Charger but when I restored the Chevelle I had the bumper brackets powder coated......waste of time & money! A good sanding, primer and paint would've served the same purpose.

Keep us posted on what your progress is and don't forget some pix. Cheers!

I had mine dipped and e-coated.  They came out great!
