Re: Frame ~ Powder Coat Or Paint ?
Clean frame thoroughly, media blast with a product called Blackbeauty or its equivalent, clean frame again in sections with wax/grease remover, hand sand entire frame again with 180grit, clean frame again with wax/grease remover, paint with two part epoxy and then topcoat with a chassis black. Media blasting alone dose not give a surface that paint will super adhere to. This is how I paint all my sheet metal, a little more than the average guy will be willing to do, but a far superior job to any powder painting out there and like a previous poster stated, rust will spread under powder paint. Think of it like this, what paint is used in corrosive environments, answer is EPOXY
