I use rustbullet, after using POR15 it is similar but much less fussy with prep..

I did mine with rust bullet. Less prep work than por-15.

A good metal primer, then a couple of coats of enamel will be fine for a driver. Make sure you do your prep-work for any of these methods you choose.

Powder coating would be a waste unless this is some kind of high dollar custom, that was being paid for by the powder-coating company.

Thats about the price that I was thinking (I've had PC work done before).

$700. is a lot of $$$ to me (when there are options under/near $100).

I thought it was a good price for everthing they did. Pan, beam, trailing arms, tie rods, caps, body mount washers, etc.

I would never powder coat the pan. (because of the torsion that's in every car)
