Richard,
Shane is absolutely right! I saw your post and was going to comment the
same, but I had thought that there may be some sort of miracle GOO that
would have proved me wrong, so I kept quiet on this one.
Powder coating must be understood technically before it can be
considered viable for any application.
I am very familiar with powder coating and would be willing to open this
discussion...if anyone was interested!

Powder coating alloy is a bad idea. The alloy continues to gas
throughout
its life
and over time, this will cause the powder coat to bubble and lift. It
is
better if you
leave it uncoated, and take the time to polish it once a year or so.
One of the benefits of polished alloy, it requires you to take some time
and
use
some elbow grease; a mind numbing task which allows you to do a visual
check
on others things that are nearby.
