Simply mask off the surfaces which ride against your spindle and spindle/kingpin bearing. If you are replacing kingpins with oversized I suggest you have the axle honed to fit them before coating so the axle don't get uglied up when you do it later.
Powdercoat is cured at only 350 to 400 F and there is no way the axle will soften anf warp at that low temperature. You can hang it any way you want to with no fear.
