I think you can only powdercoat metal items.

You can powder coat plastic as well but as far as the max temp on the intake I am not sure. Might be a question for the manufacturer.

I wouldn't recommend powdercoating plastic because the outcome might not hold, and that is if the plastic doesn't melt in the process.

I thought I remember hearing that the bake temperature for regular powders is around 400 degrees...I think paint is your best option for plastic.
