I doubt there is a "correct" way...
Since powder coating is "thick", it might just retain a little heat..

I guess it depends on what suits ur pockets, i believe powder coating is quite costly but looks awesome.

I would just diy spray paint it to however i like it though.
Just my opinion..

Get the grease and grime properly removed and cleaned off before DIY painting. Use a primer and colour that can take some heat.
