u try to scratch it , if come out like a thin peel layer it is normal water paint or epoxy paint , if come out a small piece like harden cement pieces it is powder coat

from ur photo i noticed the welding ares paint spread evenly 60% will be a legit powder coat , thick epoxy paint can do the same , but the price for Epoxy paint not sure are cheaper than powder coat or not, if they wanna cheat why not choose the cheaper option.

visit some website for more info
