It's Powder Coating, and to do it correct (to sinter the powder) you need temps in the 200 to 300 degree range minimum, for most commercial coatings... That would prob cause some warping, and the like - and I would wonder how you would keep the powder out of the shaft.....
Go the Krylon route!

If you have the money to shell out, i would look at the Meziere water pumps, IMO they look better than a powder coated piece and also you will pick up a little power as well.

I was told you CAN NOT powder a water pump unless you take it ALL apart.. there are internal parts that would not survive the heat process.. you could polish it though. Im also working with a place to see if they can rebuild them and in the process chrome the pump and the bell.
I like the Mezire (sp?) pump though..
