Hi Personally, if i was doing this i would galvanise/powder coat and then epoxy coat. i think the quality of the epoxy is proven as many cars are good after 25 years, however i am not sure with galvanising/powder coating as i thought they scratch much easier and one any damage/scratches rust soon sets in. the original epoxy is pretty tough stuff and if you 'slip' against it with a tool is resists well.
