You beat me to it, and said pretty much the same things I was going to 
suggest.

Paint is easier to apply in an assembly line fashion as well.  Simpler 
process, cheaper equipment.  Many parts aren't even sprayed but rather 
"dunked" in paint.

I never really thought of powdercoating the body parts but it looks 
darned good on undercarriage parts and protects the parts much better 
than paint would.

Hmmmm if these Alphastation cases "decompose" any more maybe I ought to 
move their guts to a powdercoated aluminum case.  :-)
