    THe body is made of SS if its twist lock, aluminum if its ULE.

    powder coating SS is fine... Aluminum im not sure, but i would think it would be fine.

    Don't quote me on it but ULE bodies Aluminum can be powdercoated because of its quality. Again don't quote me on it.

    Yes, the bodies can be powdercoated. Make sure you mask off the areas where the body makes contact with the rail. The thickness of the paint can affect the operation of the gun so you don't want to change any of the tolerances.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
