I've never tried to do them, but if they can handle the heat, they can be coated if the coater knows what he is doing.

that being said, mine are painted.
Lol, yes, this is correct, but 99.9% of the time, you can't powdercoat plastics, that's why I say "no"
I've done some specialty ABS plastics and some Delrin products for a company and it was ok. I just couldn't tell you the plastic used on the handles.
I'll send my spare set to a shop to see if they can analyze it
