It withstands very extreme temperatures, and doesn't flake or peel off very easily once properly cured.

Key phrase. If the prep isn't perfect, same as curing, it will flake off in no time between the heat generated by the turbo and the temperatures under the hood, especially in a black car in Cali If all turns out as planned I think it'll be a nice original touch

Exactly, I'd consider pc'ing the valve cover, but I've heard it's a bitch to get off.

Powdercoat ovens are usually ~250-300* so i doubt that line would get damaged, just have them mask it off.

You won't even be able to see it, so I don't understand this. You REALLY won't be able to see the purple clutch.
