remember you are asking the concours guys here. powder coating is not an original finish. but it tends to be a tad thicker. i'd still follow charles' advice.

Does powdercoat hide imperfections well?  Or would you still use epoxy primer?

Will hide imperfections as well as factory details, markings and often leaves the part looking with a "dipped in plastic look"  Not like an original part.

Easy way is not often the best way when it comes to restoring

Fair points. :). Haha. Sometimes I forget I'm talking to concours guys. I will do most things concours but not everything I suppose.

Are you referring to the 65 San Jose he did?  Don't think he's done a 66 K code that I can recall. Not that there are not allot of good pictures and help for many details he included in the blog
