frame painting question (finished)

I took my 450r apart today to paint the frame in black, My question is, Is it better to get it power coated or just sandblasted and painted? I have a friend that can do it for me with awl-grip boat paint.
and a little extra for car guys

That's a SWEET car!
If you can get it painted for next to nothing then do that. I don't know how tough that paint is but powdercoating is really durable.

Good call going the powdercoat route. Now it won't chip on you and flake off. It will last longer too. Looks very nice and clean man. Goodjob!
