Powdercoat or POR-15?

Short and sweet (hopefully) question.

1968 C10 LWB frame and suspension components (trailing arms/coils, stock front crossmember and control arms, etc.)

Should I spend the money to powdercoat the frame, or should I just go with silver argent POR-15 with a chassis black topcoat?

(Silver Argent 1st coat because I've got minor pitting in the frame from it sitting out in the weather for the last 16 years)

I plan on finishing stripping the remainder of the suspension and frame this coming weekend.

A Local sandblaster/powdercoater wants roughly $900 to blast/coat everything.

I plan on (eventually) upgrading to a "touring" style suspension (coilovers, new front crossmember, etc). For right now, I just want to put the truck back on the road and enjoy it for a while.

I have already ordered a complete Front/Rear disk brake conversion (not the big brake kit), lowering/handling performance kit, PolyPlus front end rebuild kit with control arm bushings, and new poly trailing arm bushings from CPP.

Supposedly the majority of the order is getting shipped today.

Edit - I feel like a moron. Sorry for the incorrect spelling of "powdercoat" in the poll title.
