Time will tell about how long it will last. I do know for a fact that if I mess up a piece and want to redo it , the powder is a &%@$ to take off!! No matter which method you use though there is going to be a chip/scratch eventually in the finish if you actually use the machine for more than parades.
I have seen your thread on restoring your tractor and if I could paint that well I would probably paint. But I am not that good with a paint gun!! So I will powder coat.:biggrin2.gif:
Cost is another factor. Sure it took some $$ to get set up to powder coat but so does a good paint set up. The oven is home built so that helped a lot. One example is my brothers motorcycle. We did the pair of tanks , and both fenders. Turned out great!! Total cost for powder and electricity for the oven and compressor for bead blasting everything was a little shy of $30.
