Something else to consider also is a rubberized truck bed coating. (Like Rhinoliner or U-Pol) Once that stuff is on it's almost impossible to damage. (Watch the Mythbusters episode where they test it). The damn stuffs almost impossible to damage. (Don't forget as a truckbed liner it's made to have bricks, stones and other crap hit it with no damage).
It comes in various colors, including white. Just thinking outside the box, but really, there's no reason you can't use it.

Ive read and heard most down falls in powder coat is from disimuliar metal contact and lack of prep. My powder coat guy says he will media blast,the use a anti corrosive primer and then apply 3 coats of powder. From what i have been told he is going over and beyond the average powder coat guy.
