I vote for the POR-15 also. It will be much cheaper and easier to do than
the powder coating. I coated my rear suspension springs and all over a year
ago and it still looks great.
Surface prep really is not that much of a problem. Leave the rusty
surface jsut make sure that its absolutly clean as in degreased. With a
pressure washer and some simple green thats an easy task.
