Very valid points Jay. I have to say the Centari I sprayed my A frame with years ago held up very well, even in Florida's sun. And Centari is nowhere hitech compared to some of todays stuff. But for the home hobbyist, like me, I think there are some benefits to doing the powder coat routine on some stuff.

If I had a booth to spray in it might be different, but doing it in the driveway sure is a pain in the butt. (not to mention bugs and dirt)
