Powder coating is a poor excuse for a firearm finish. I used to manage the engineering department of a factory that manufactured traffic signal control enclosures... and we powder coated these cabinets upon request or by government specification, but the most durable finish we sold was polished marine grade aluminum.
It is really a baked on powdered enamel and is very fragile if subjected to rough handling. It scratches very easily and can't be properly touched up. It is only good for stationary objects... not working firearms.
If the gun were mine, I would have every bit of it sandblasted or polished off and have Thor blue it like a firearm should be...
just my $0.02
