Powder coat is an excellent hard, long lasting finish. I however, know that I can and will beat the cr*p out of my trailer and chose to spend as little as possible in paint. I have already touched up mine several times. With my new lid on it it becomes an excellent work surface as well. No worries about welding splatter. I just touch it up. But my trailer was NEVER going to win any beauty contests as it was beat to death prior to my ownership.
If you are going to powerder coat, you need to disassemble everything and have it CLEAN and ready to go unless you have the money to pay for that additional service. (that could add up)
But remeber if you dont have picts you have not painted.
