Brian, you do not "need" to powdercoat anything. It can all be painted just as most vehicle frames/bodies/parts/etc have been for years. Of course powdercoat is tougher/better than most rattle can finishes, but most automotive style urethane paint is plenty durable and chemical resistant. I have used Dupont Imron, Nason Fulthane, PPG, Sherwin Williams Polane etc over the years with no problems.
I have nothing against powdercoating, but I by no means consider it as something "better" than frames I have epoxy primed and painted with catalized urethane paint. Painting requires some skills to do right, whereas powder coating simply requires you to fork over the money to someone else with the skills and equipment.
