Yes powder coat is a hard and tough coating that is definitely resistant to abrasion, so would be harder than normal to drill through.
Got to admit, I'm still leaning towards wet spray mainly because of its repairability (and less cost). Both methods need proper surface prep. of course.
My other 'old ride' is 35 winters old, still with factory paint underneath. Not exactly factory fresh, but not demanding attention.
Thanks again for the replies. Much appreciated.
