I don't see why not. Another option would be to anondize.

You don't powdercoat to help disapate heat.

To help control temperatures, you should look into performance coatings.

they can be powder coated no problem. the down side to it though, and the same with chrome or anodizing, is any surface imperfections (rouhg casting scratches etc) will show uo when you coat it with something. powder will hide it alot better but to anodize or chrome you need to polish first
