Same question. Is it better to get multiple layers of powder coating or is just one enough? Do they need to be cleared afterwords? 2 or 3 coats of clear enough?

For powdercoating, 1 coat is all you need and you don't need a clear.

+1 You only need one coat, no clear. It's more durable than paint, and usually looks more professional.
