I powder coated my rear calipers but I also had to rebuild them so I sort of killed two birds with one stone. But, if you think about it, breakes can be red hot and still work, but, that is mostly the brake disc, not the caliper.
Remember, as soon as the brake fluid starts boiling you get brake fade, and with regular brake fluid that is somewhere around 350 F (I might be corrected so anyone go ahead).
In my opinion I think you are risking burning up the rubber seals if you don't take them out before powder coating.
I still have my old rubber seals and such left over so if you want I can stick them in the oven at 400 F for 15 mintues and see if anything happens, but you'll have to wait till at least next Sunday for an answer.
Let me know.
