Default powder coated spokes?

Getting ready to powder coat the ol rims and hubs but what about the spokes anybody tried this? I know the threads would have to stay pc free and the nipples, just curious if they would flake or crack the powder coat

powder wont flake or crack...if done properly.
in fact.. i make my own "s" hooks to hang parts with...and once theyre coated.. you can tie them in knots and the powder will not seperate from the substrate

and b.t.w. check out my rims...
