Got some new OEM steering knuckles to start working on replacing my steering set up. I want to get some paint on them before install, are there any parts of the knuckle that can't/shouldn't be painted? Any insight would be appreciated.
 
I'd say no interfacing/machined surfaces or threads... so not on the abutments where the pads slide, not in the threads, etc. It wouldn't be hard to "fix" any excess paint, but not desired.
