My take on powder coating is that everyone is trying to recycle their media to the nth degree and they are actually introducing contaminates into the work. Thus peeling. A few places steam clean or scuff sand after the media blasting, but not many. One local place is advertising some type of bonding primer for the powder coat, but I don't know if this is a paint or something else.
Bottom line, look at the process and unless the work is absolutely clean and re-cleaned, paint.
