Used to be real frowned upon among the framebuilding fraternity to just clear coat a frame.
I personally think powdercoat is a far worse sin.
No anti corrosive properties about (most) powdercoat and at least with clear you can see what’s happening to the metal.
I asked Dave Yates about it on his framebuilding course and he wasn't keen. Can't remember his reason.
