I powdercoated mine. I am really happy with the results. I imagine it will be a little more durable than standard paint.

Potential issues (nothing a show stopper)
Warping while baking in the oven
Grounding (easy enough to fix)
...

Those are about all the lame excusses I can give for not doing it.
The argument looks to be in favor of doing it.

I used a BC Broncos blank dash and the switch panels are from danamarineproducts.com. Tried to get the link but the website would not open for some reason. Should be under "billet hardware- Carling switch panels". Pretty nice selection and can be powdercoated or anodized.

How difficult was the wiring of the new switches? I am contemplating a new dash setup similar to yours and want to convert to toggles switches for everything...

My dash has not been wired up yet since I am in the middle of the never-ending build. Shouldn't be too much longer until I get to that point. Hopefully it's not too bad.
