Default Powder coating throttle body

Hey guys, I was wondering if I can powder coat my throttle body as the color comes “ natural “ and everything on my bike is black or will it ruin something? If so, the powder coater should know what to mask off correct or do you have to tell them? I apologize if this is a silly question, I know nothing when it comes to throttle bodies. Thanks

I would think you would have to do a complete disassembly of the throttlle body itself,not sure it's worth the effort. I'd check with a mechanic.

Why not just use a "Rattle can" on it? I been using spray epoxy on most of my parts lately in order to black out my Slim.
