Powder coat or paint a frame

[AgentX]

I don't have any trouble believing a bureaucracy could force someone to scrap a perfectly good frame for the sake of a chance to apply a rule, either correctly or incorrectly.

Then again, I've worked in bureaucracies, so perhaps I'm just too skeptical of any expectation of sanity.

Either way, when I have my powdercoating done I'm mailing my stuff to JRK5892, he does some amazing work and hopefully he can fix all my newb mistakes on all the parts I've tried to modify! I don't have any doubts about powdercoat after seeing all the knowledge that guy has!

Question: If you were going to paint a frame (not saying I am) but if you were what would the best paint be? acrylic? or just enamal?

an epoxy based paint no question

Good cose-effective alternative to powder = Rustbullet Blackshell. Requires minimal frame prep and is hard as a rock & chemical resistant once set.
