Default powder coating or anodizing?

anodizing is cheaper, but which looks better and lasts longer? powder coating really worth the extra cash?

Lets see anodizing, which is dying of the metal,fades but won't scratch or peel. Powder coating will not fade and could scratch or peel but highly unlikely if done right. If it does scratch or peel it means you wrecked your $hit and it does not matter any way.. Powder coating also has more colors.

powder coat it, if your powder coat ever looks like crap, you can buff it out and it rejuvinates the color, anodizing will just fade and youll have to get the part stripped to bare metal and re anodized
