Default Can I powder coat the water pump?

Is there any reason why I shouldn't powder coat the water pump?
Does the heat become an issue?

I'm the powder coating King and have not found a need to do the pump...
To answer your question it won't hurt anything or cause ill effects

Thanks for the replies.

Reason - to make it easier to keep clean and looking good.

I was also thinking of powder coating the generator too, but I know I have to keep the electrical connections clear.

Dont get carried away with the powder coating. Henry never used it and it takes away from the authenticity of the Model A! Wayne
