My $.02 the economy of scale would suggest that offering them powdercoated would make it less expensive than buying it raw and taking it to a powdercoater after the purchase. Most of us are CSOB's so nice looking pieces for less seems like a no brainer. Sell raw ones as well at a somewhat lower price for the concours crowd.
Cost (final) will an issue as used ones can be found and even if damaged can be repaired ,finish ? well thats up to the buyer but Jeff made a good point,besides if thats all they used surely a zinc primer and some good enamel topcoat ....paint has come a long since.
Cheers.
