Default Powder Coating on to Vactan?

Ladies and gents,

I've recently sand blasted and rust-proofed the front suspension components of a 4wd sapphire cosworth. My question is:

Can you powder coat onto the Vactan coating?

I believe the powder coating process involves lots of cleaning/rinsing, a chemical etch and then a phosphating coat prior to the powder being applied? Have I effectively completed the phosphating bit already by applying the Vactan? If I powder coat on top how good a "key" will the Vactan give to the Powder above? Should I just throw on 2x coats of red oxide, 2x coats of black spray, waxoyl and be done with it?

Your thoughts please?

Regards,

Alex
