Powder coating the frame on a pump is fine, I have done a few that way but I have my own powder coating setup. More often I just leave them I'm primer. I'm not sure I'd spend the money to have it done otherwise simply because it's rarely seen after a pump is restored and displayed and usually never subjected to any harsher environment than your garage or living room. It's been discussed before how we spend hours on the inside of a pump to make it pretty and then close the doors on it forever.....GB
