I have a bombadil that came with clear powdercoat on it, and it is not a problem as far as rust goes. The only issue I have had is that it seems to have been applied a little thick in some areas, such as just beneath the fork crown, so some cracking / flaking off there. Touched it up with clear nail polish and that worked. It would have flaked if it were any color I believe. The bonus is, if clear powdercoat rusts you'll see it right away. Any other color powdercoat hides what could be going on beneath. Not sure about wet paint options for clear, but I've heard it does not work as well as powdercoat clear.
