Powdercoating wont effect any steel frame, its the shot blasting which is rough & abrasive by its very purpose.
If you dont shot blast your frame, you will have to sand it by hand to make a nice rough surface for the paint to stick too.
Some people opt for bead blasting as a more gentle option, but its probably unnecessary except for the most ultra-thin premium tubing.
