Default Powdercoating vs. Por15?

Hey gang,

Can anyone explain to me the benefits of powdercoating over using Por15 to protect my floorboards, frame, and suspension parts? I don't want rust to ruin what I have, and I understand that either way, I will greatly reduce the risk of corrosion. TIA,

The basic differences:

POR-15 will be difficult to get inside the frame rails unless you spray. Spraying can be very dangerous to your health unless you follow the instructions to the letter. However, brushing it on (with good ventilation!!!!!) is very easy and covers extremely well. POR-15 will discolour from the effects of UV.

Powder Coating gets everywhere inside and out, but is more susceptible to chipping and is difficult to patch/match later.

Which did I choose? POR-15 and then a top-coating of Tremclad for UV protection.
