Default Powder Coating??

Ok I recently purchased my bike and while I was in the ether I bought a set of V&H longshots. Now that Iv'e been looking at all the postings in the forums I see some wicked bikes with short pipes that are black ceramic coated. Im thinking since I aleady have pipes im happy with Ill just get them powder coated black as well as the turn signal brackets. Will the powder coating hold up to the heat from the exhaust?

Also decided to get a set of chrome drag bars which i already have powder coated also.

What do u guys think?

your pipes will need to be ceramic coated, some powder coaters can do it.
