well...there are specially engineered vinyl that are extremely heat resistant. They use them for electrical transformer environment to resist heat, UV, and condensation. You can also always get it professionally clear coated on top to protect it.

Well, the vinyl would be a good way to try it out for a few weeks to see if you like the look. There's only so much a photoshopped picture can tell you. I wouldn't suggest it as a permanent solution as powdercoating is the way to go.
