Powder Coat or Paint

[dpd43]

Thinking of doing my trailing arms over on my 99 skidoo and 04 edge Polaris. Any suggestions on what would be more durable?

ive had alot of luck with both. powder coat will probably last longer and look better, but paint is cheaper.

I do my A-arms and skid with refrigerator paint..... very hard when it dries...also looks good...

Powder Coat those bad boys. It will hold up better, especially since those trailing arms are close to the ground. It's stronger and has a better finish. IMO.

I powdercoated my whole front and rear suspension b4 last season and my front controll arms took some pretty good abuse in the woods and are still scratch free! my friends call them bark busters now! i only had $225.00 into my front controll arms, front knuckles, rear suspension rails, and all the small rear suspension parts!
