For coating chassie components such as beams etc? Is powder coating the best way?

It's stronger than liquid paint.

Most chassis stuff and brackets are powder coated.
Just make sure you clean it damn good and proper first to avoid any reaction.

That might be the reason for the soda blasting thread

A good company will dip the part first blast it then powdercoat. its thicker than paint but can chip but is pretty resistant. the company we use picks up chassis etc from us and re-delivers

Yup. Coating's all good.

Very tough and, as nobody's mentioned it, it's also very inert after application meaning it won't react to petrol / antifreeze / carb cleaner (etc . . ) as readily as paint would.
