[R-390] Powder-coating the escutcheon

Has anyone powder-coated an R390 dial escutcheon?  I plan to have the knobs
and meter covers(if possible) powder-coated and want the escutcheon to
match.  The only problems I see are the lamp holders.  These are riveted in
place with a fibre-like insulator.  As I understand it, powder-coating
involves making the object to be coated quite hot.  I don't how hot, but I'm
wondering if this will significantly degrade these insulators.  Has anyone
experience with this?

Thanks,
