Will powdercoating rust?
If I buy suspension components from spohn and get the red powdercoating how long will the covering last?

It will only rust if it chips and the exposed metal rusts. The metal will not rust through and powder coating is much more durable than paint.

I remember hearing that if a powdercoated piece would rust, it would rust from the inside. Not really sure on it though.
