Oh dang it, so powder coating is out of the question then as the seal wont like going in the oven. I guess the best option would be to spray it?

Catch me if you can
The gas caps will come apart. Take and slightly and carefully bend the lip of the outer ( Black ) cover. I mark the spots that I bend for future refference ( see below ). Any way, do this 1/2 to 2/3 Rds the way around it. The top will pop off. Be careful because there is a spring, o-ring, and some other little parts inside. You want to make sure you see how it comes apart. This is for re-assembly later.
Before painting: Bend the edges ( that you bent to take it apart ) back in a little bit. Then paint the cap and press the top back on. If you bent the edges back properly, then when pressed back together the cap will stay together.
I know this works. I have done it many times ( 15-20 of them ) in the past. Normally I do it to fix plugged gas caps.
