Exterior parts should be fine for powder coat, although anodizing and laser etching will give better results on the Mini's small parts.

I doubt you can P/C any intricate pieces or threads.

If you just want the air transfer plate white I'd disassemble it and paint the visible edges with model paint. Then when you want to sell it you can clean it off and get more of your money back.
