Paint vs Powder Coat: Pros and Cons

[Ron Fox]

What are the pros and cons of Paint vs Powder coat? I know in general the paint can be worked and made to a slick finish. Is powder coat able to be brought out to a slick, show finish? If the powder coat is ever damaged would it be difficult to repair vs paint?

I am trying to deceide what to use on my original or aftermarket subframe. I want it to be a slick, show like finish.

Thanks for the help.
