I had stuff zinc plated and it lasted only a few days before it tarnished. Powder coat is the way to go as this lasted underneath my other car very well. I think properly applied paint as per a bodshop works but Paint seems easier to chip.

Powdercoat for sure. Tho if it gets chipped it doesn't take long for the elements to get under it. Still the longest lasting coating I've had survive under mine

The best would be to have it hot galv sprayed and then powder coated , as the hot galv coating is the same as dipping in galv so 20 + years and then the powder coating to make it look pretty , powder coat chips but so does paint so I would always go powder coat , just have it redone every 5 years
