Hi John,
Most people just paint and or epoxy coat surfaces expected to be
abraded. I'd stay away from any plating because of the associated
embrittlement problem.
Steel parts and gear struts hold up really well with just a prime and a
finish coat. The mistake I see so often is a special coating or failed
plating or difficult paint
process that is hard to repair because the process and a booth are not
available. I'd recommend you also find a straight color that can be
found in a rattle can later
when you mostly just want to fly.

that the oven baking may change the temper of the parts. Is there
another method of coating the steel parts that will stand up to wear
and tear?
