What paint would be the closest to match the factory finish and be as durable? Best to just have it powder coated? The guys in the main forum said go with pc, just wanted to pose it in here for opinions as well.

Tod,
As I've mentioned in other posts, I use Masury Satin Black with a pressure feed on spray gun to put on heavy. Alot of work and certainly not as durable as powder coating. I'm going to build a stock 40 horse VW motor with a Judson Supercharger on it. I plan on powder coating the tin on that. I just don't have the time to spray it myself. Cost? About $250.00. That includes bead blasting and powder coating. The finish looks pretty close. If you want I can get the name of the place my fellow VW friend has used many times in the past.
