I powder coated both my Chevelle and
Corvette Frames along with all the suspension parts about 2 years ago. Have not
had any issues with chipping or turning loose even with heat. I recommend
powder coating highly.. If you are near the DFW metroplex I recommend
a shop that will treat you great. Crosslink Powder Coating in
McKinney, TX. See Bob.

I had my 69 frame sandblasted and epoxy primed about 2-3
years ago. It is tough stuff. I have slammed it, and
dropped tools on it, and even tried chipping it off to get to bare
metal. (All long stories). It is tough stuff.
I don't know about powder coat but I don't see how a stone
could chip this stuff. Maybe depends on the brand or application??
Mine was done by a local shop. Paid $400 for sandblasting and just
primer on a bare frame.
Just my .02

on my 69 chevelle we used a epoxy based primer sealer and painted black
over it.every time a wrench or a stone hits it it chips.we have restored
numerous corvettes and powder coated the frame and have had no problems,i
hit the frame on one car with a hammer by mistake and the powder coat wasn't
bothered.

The only problem with that is that if it chips, you can't fix
it. Once moisture gets underneath the powerdcoat, it's done, the
whole thing will lift.
