You're right about the coil springs. But I've also seen alot of powder coated equipment that started with an crack (from stone hitting it, etc), that rusted out underneath. Moisture gets under it, and you just can see it in an (too) late stadium.
And as far as I know you may not seal the bonds of the pan halfs and the tunnel by powder coating. ANd how do you than prevent getting moisture between them???
