My pros and cons for paint/powdercoat
Powdercoat gives a nice hard glossy durable finish. on the downside it's difficult to refinish if I make any changes or repairs to the chassis.
The other downside I've seen is that it can chip if hit by stones etc
Paint and were talking an epoxy paint or PRO15 here can also give a nice finish but a bit more work to achieve. It's probably cheaper as it can be done at home. With any repairs or mods are easier to fix the paint after.
On the downside it may not be as durable to general wear and tear. Probably not as solvent resistant as powdercoat.
So I'm waiting on a few quotes at the moment before I decide. If it's cheap enough I'll go powdercoat to save me some messing around with painting.
Cheers
