Depends on how smooth you want it. IF you are just going to paint it, that will be fine. Mine is krinkle painted so i just preped the surface and then painted it.

He powdercoated it, its not paint (not exactly).

Powdercoating involves electrically charging the part being sprayed and the powder is attracted like dust to a tv screen. Afterwards it's cured in an oven.

Nothing wrong with painting, but powdercoat yields a more uniform, completely run free and tougher finish.
