Don't see why not, as the housing already go's through a welding process during assembly. Don't know of any plastic part's inside, and these thing's get pretty hot during normal usage. Not sure why you want to go with powder coat, as not exactly a part you'll be looking at, but guess go for it. If me, probably engine enamal, and many stocker's aren't even painted at all.

In a word...No. 600*F on an assembled torque converter...with synthetic rubber seals, etc....is not a very good idea. Besides, you can spray it with a spray can in 10 minutes--and it's hidden from view. I mean...come on...this is a "put-on"....right?

powdercoating requires 400 degrees to cure in addition to non metal parts any fluid would coke up you will destroy the converter. I'm a big fan of Powdercoat but not in this case

you are not going to coat the workings inside of the converter. Coating the outside of will have no effect other than perhaps, making it hold in heat which would not be good
