I'm refurbing my rear calipers and wondered whether powdercoat would stand up to the heat on track?

Has anyone had any experience?

My coater talked me into a 'thermal dispersant' coating that encourages heat release - calipers look good, don't get too dirty, and don't get hot!

I'd just paint them to be honest, probably take 4-5 coats but looks good enough when done well.
