Default Anyone ever powdercoat coils or paint

The last mod for me is to do something with my coils. While I love the look of the MSD coils, I cant see spending all that cash on coils that are known to fail. The stock Z coils work just fine. So my question is this. Can they be powdercoated? I know the process gets hot, but is it to hot for the electronics? If not possible how do they look painted?

You guys rock. I was getting ready to spend all this money on red coils and I can now spend $10. HAHA Thanks and the examples look great.
