If you're really worried about rust, just do an oxalic acid bath...and framesave it. that will remove 99.99% of the rust and prevent rust from happening again...and be 10x cheaper and probably offer more protection than powdercoating since powdercoating doesnt actually treat/remove the rust...it just covers up the problem. you wont have to tarck up your vintage frame and ruin a sweet, original paint job...
