You can get high temp powder if you're worried about it.

any powder will hold up just fine, we do them all the time, just did a whole twin cam race motor and a dyna evo, you just wnat to stay away from lighter colors as the heat may yellow them depending on what you are coating (like the jugs for example) but the rest of the motor that does not see that heat will be fine
