I had my chassis powdercoated as well. I still don't have it on the road so I can not attest to how it stands up in actual driving conditions but I haven't been able to mess it up with all of the build process yet.

I did have a couple of major changes since it was powdercoated. The biggest was removing one of the rear brake caliper brackets to accommodate Wilwood brakes. I had to think long and hard about it before I cut it off. However, after using POR-15 and their top coat product, one has to look fairly close to see the modification. The same may not be true for other locations that might need changes made after powdercoating is done but you can definitely cover up and protect the area that was worked on.
