Default Thinking about winter mods, help me figure it out!

Hey all,
I'm planning on doing some more powder work this winter, along with 21x3.5 front with a 120, and a 180 on the rear (after powdering the rims).

Moreover, I plan on having my breather, pipes, heads, push rod covers and lifter covers done in wrinkle black. My question is, is it even possible to have the push rod covers powdered? As in, are their any critical parts that I shouldnt get powdered on them? I know the cover slides down, my concern is that adding the powder may make this sliding more difficult, is it a precision piece?

Cheers,
Hickey

The retainer clip covers the upper tube and you can't see much of it anyway, just powder the lower tube and retainer clip. O-rings work best on a smooth surface.
