Powdercoating is basically a plastic finish that's sprayed on as a powder, then melted in an oven. This gives a uniform, hard, bonded layer. Is it better than the original epoxy? Almost certainly, given the uniform nature of it. Personally, I'd investigate Nylon Plastic-coating. Applied in the same way, but the material is about three times the price, but the finish is really really wierd. It feels almost soft to the touch and nothing will stick to it - it's what springs are usually done in because it's also flexible.
