That thing is painted. Overspray & texture give it away.
FYI: When it comes to powdercoating, heat is a part of the process.
After the powder is applied, the powdercoated item must be placed in an oven to melt the powder and form the actual coating.

But I do agree it was spray painted with high temp from the looks of it.
