powder coat i would say is more durbae to a point ano is just the urface of the alloy thats is etched away and colored

That's what I'm thinking , they powder coat motorcycle rims on occ , and I know military trucks are powder coated . I'm thinking powdercoating is the way to go

Powdercoating is more durable but add more weight.

Powdercoat all the way! I did my senior project for school on powdercoating and did my Honda 400ex frame myself and am very impressed with powder-coat and it turns out awesome if done correctly.

i highly douubt powdercoating adds that much weight to make a diffrence, on the other hand anodizing acutally takes away material so if it was 4mm anodized it was orgianlly 5 give a take lol

Powdering coating in addition is better to prevent corrosion. All the Navy guys would tell you the same.
