I still paint mine, Don... I use a touch up gun in the tight areas and getting it inside wherever the inner part of the frame will show, let it tack off, then load up the big gun and shoot light coats on the whole frame, followed by some clear.

To make the tight spots easier to get at, I mount the frame to an engine stand on either end so I can rotate it around to get the best coverage....

Powder coating is fine, I just don't like the finish that it gives. Think I'll stick to paint and clear.
