I'd imagine you are correct, the only downside being that with powdercoat its hard to control the material thickness and the way it fills the surface. If your having someone else do it, you'd have to make sure they coat enough for the powder to self-level a bit under heat...and then you'd have to sand-back the inner area for the lock mechanism to have enough clearance to slide in-n-out.

It would hold up to the keys and chemicals (and UV, if you don't clear the painted version) better.
