Curt,
I am sorry, but I have to disagree. Most older powder coating jobs I 
have seen are just looking terrible if you look at it closer and peel 
away some of the loose bits. There may be better powder coatings around 
now but so far I did not come across them. Of course these coatings do 
look much better than the paint jobs when new and/or in good condition 
but AFAIAC they are for trailer queens or dry warm climates only, not 
for chassis parts of cars that are in frequent use in bad weather or 
winterly conditions with salt on the road. You simply cannot detect 
deterioration early enough to prevent serious corrosion.
