On my toys I try and use powder coat over paint anytime I can because like others have said it holds up alot better than paint. The only exception is on one of the offroad cars I have because it takes alot of abuse and like others said the paint can be touched up. I have alot of stuff powder coated on the car, but things like the roll cage, rock sliders, bumpers I have painted so a quick touch up with a rattle can is easy. I have a friend that owns an offroad race team, and all their race cars are painted for easy touch up. The cars he builds for customers that want the bling factor usually choose powder coating on everything because it is tough and will look better than paint over time (as long as it is not abused too much). I would powder coat if I was you because it's a street car that should not see alot of abuse (at least in the places that will be visible).
