Tony...I have no expertise to lend to this discussion...without a  
great deal of thought, I powder coated my tailspring along w/ all the  
other ferrous components and fittings.  Ms. E is not yet airworthy, so  
I have no experience as to whether or not the tailspring's flexing  
will cause cracking of the powder coating.
