I have done this on my 74 Beetle.  You must remove the guts, for the
powdercoating process will melt some of that samll stuff, and get inot the
locks and make them inoperable.  Sandblast them, wipe them with a oil
remover, and take them to your powder coat shop.  It should be cheap,
wspecially if you work with them on a black that they run for production all
the time.
