Smile Engine components & Frame Paint

All: At point where I have a stock of engine components (pulleys, brackets steering gear, P/S pump & reservoir, engine supports, etc) that are clean and now need paint. What is the experience out there with Powder coating versus Spray paint (say done by a body shop)? I' m doing a "66 F250, and live in the wet, wet climate of British Columbia. Any advice welcome. Thx. Jeff

All a matter of personal prefereance and how much you are willing to spend. I just painted my own (like a body shop would of course) but then I'm a cheap SOB... If costs are equal, I would go with powder coating.
