The problem with a new chassis is that it requires numerous holes bored and subsequent sealing and then subsequent sealing to ensure integrity of coating. The 15 year warranty sound good though!
I think when Dave Sapp was rebuilding his Series 1 he completed the rebuild and then disassembled back to the chassis and then had it powder coated.

The powder coating company that Terry Foxen (GEE) uses does a 15-year warranty. Both he and Kevin Vernon are very happy with the quality of the coating and if it's good enough for them, I'm happy with it being used on my new chassis. Interestingly the powder coating is not that thick shiny almost plasticky finish that is normally associated with powder coat. Instead it's a very thin satin finish, which seems pretty robust to me. The way I see it the first chassis lasted 25 years and 90k miles and all that had was a lick of factory paint. if the replacement lasts another 25 years it'll do me fine.
