one suggestin: dont!  you will just scrapt off the expensive powdercoat.  Rustolium primer/paint (several good coats) and keep some extra as touch up.  Its what I do.

Ditto on the rattle can.  look at mine, I rattled mine and now I need a touch up this spring.  If you powder coat and it chips the depth level of the chip will be really noticable when you retouch.

Honestly, nothing holds up against rocks.  the $1/can paint from HD works just as well as the $4 stuff.

Well after cheking at both auto parts stores in groton, and the nxt, the only stuff i could find was the engine paint that had had any loud bright colors.  i know its allitle on the highside, but, as everyone knows if its really, really what you want, you'll end up forkin out the dough. it dont bother me much.  Hell its still cheaper than powdercoat.
