Powder coat is almost like Porcelin, and doesnt scratch or chip real easy, and is the best way to go, if you can afford it.

There is no reason to go the expense & put paint over the powder coat as it most likely will peal off.

A. I want the protection of powdercoat in all the nooks and crany's that the average painter may not attend to.

B. I like the anti chip and scratch properties that (I thought) powdercoat provides and would be a great base to start with.

So your telling me that painting over the powdercoat will most likely result in chipping of the paint ? Even if it's prepped ?

I was going to pwdercoat the frame (entirely)
Then have the Outside frame rails painted only.
