Powder coating is cool if thats what you want to do. It looks great and is durable. The only reason I don't do it to frames is because I'm known to make changes and its so easy grind paint off make my changes and repaint.

As for me I prefer to get all the rust removed and use epoxy primer and single stage black on my frames. Its durable and easy to touch up. I just don't believe in painting over rust. I'm not saying those products don't work, I just can't bring myself to do it.lol
