I have a powdercoat machine and have powdercoated lots of things on the Jeep. Powdercoat is so hard that it is actually brittle. It chips from sand and such on bumpers and oil pans. The chipped places then start to rust. I am doing a body swap on my XJ at the moment and decided to sand down the front bumper and repaint it due to the chips. Heck, the paint is as hard as the metal, but chipped all over. It was a bear to sand down.
I thought powdercoat would have been the best thing, but unless I can score some powder that handles the chips better, I won't be powdercoating anything under the XJ any more.
I just thought I would mention this before any of you spend big bucks to get anything powdercoated.
