I had my frame powdercoated on my 89 pickup as it seemed the best thing to do. I wouldn't do that again. I would clean everything good, then spray a two part epoxy primer followed by a hardened acrylic enamal single stage (no clear needed) paint. That to me is about as good as your going to get.
My biggest concern with powdercoat, undercoating, por15 etc is once it gets damaged it may allow moisture to creep under it allowing rust to hide in there and keep growing.
I've got a powdercoated snowplow at home where the powdercoat is coming off in sheets and the thing is nothing but rust. Now I had another plow I painted with epoxy primer and cheap single stage paint and it looked fine years later.
