Powder coating is very hard to paint over with normal paints. Most will peal off sooner or later. I would either return it and get the primed version, or take it to a powder coater for a redo.

Powder coat by far. That stuff is tuff! I helped a friend of mine start a powder coating business and built two ovens for him (sadly, he passed away last year...) and had him do a bunch of powder coating for me. After ten years, it still is shiny and looks like it was done yesterday. I've got a few pieces left of a machine that was used to move cattle "poop" that was done over 20 years ago and it still looks perfect.....
For my money, I would powder coat it Roy....

Got rained out on an outside project so decided I would just come inside have an early lunch and change modes to like......duck hunting maybe. Do have a couple of phone calls to make that might not be so pleasant so I might just take care of that as well.

Thanks Jim! That rain you promised just got here.
Honest guys... it wasn't me shooting up the hood. I'm never without my cell phone (I'd be really easy to track down), don't have a pile of cash and really don't feel like running.
