Powdercoating will be more durable. You can strip the old paint by soaking in a solvent. Then wash it. Then make sure it's clean. Then make sure it's smooth. Steel wool does the trick. Then wash it again. Make sure it's clean. Then prime it. Then paint it. Then clearcoat it. Then let it dry. Should be a good paintjob. Should last longer than you'll have the car.
