: Powder Coat or Chassis Black?

A friend is doing a '67 and can't decide whether to blast and powder coat or blast and prime and do 4 coats of chassis black. It's not a show car, more about durability and ease of cleaning. He's also undecided on the underside of the floor pans. I'm not completely sold on the truck bed lining thing, myself, but durability is the goal. What do you guys think?

Powdercoat the frame, and use a black epoxy primer on the bottom of the floors or paint it. The chassis black paint that Eastwood sells is an epoxy based paint. I used it on the frames on my 2 Chevelles, still holding up well.
