I will agree,that the way it is applied is the key,we got a body shop to
paint our 69 chevelle,using the epoxy primer and paint they recommended.Possibly
the body shop had applied it incorrectly,who knows,but the corvettes we have
powder coated have had absoutely no problems.

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.
