i'm currently in process of doing some subframe work and was wondering 2 things first being what kind of coating should i get done on my subframe and what the general price of the procedure would be. I heard powder coating was the best option but i dont really know anything about this subject any information will help, thanks

I used POR-15 rust paint as a base layer with a topcoat of chassiscoat black (2 coats each). The finish is extremely durable and is UV safe.

edit: the subframes were sandblasted prior to painting.
