No they wont.

Just normally paint them. Thats what everyone else does.

Im sure they will if you just tape off the internal areas,  only have them powdercoat the outside of the caliper.

I know it can be done,  it's a fairly common mod in my area.  You just have to completely take apart the brakes which sucks.
