Default Powdercoating

Guys just wondering iv seen alot of builders Powdercoat almost the entire car other than the body! undercarriage/dash frame/interior floors/trunk etc
Is this an overkill or a good thing to do?

customcam-
Suspension parts and subframes are powdercoated often to resist chipping and scratching. The only parts you can powdercoat are ones that can be baked, hence you would never see body panels and floors done.

Yes, it is a bit overkill, but I like it.

If I'm not mistaken, Troy has done powdercoat on the underside of a few of his builds as well.

Is there actually an oven big enough to bake that whole car ?
