TRIM AND EXTERIOR APPLICATIONS
Cerakote is also an excellent choice for the exterior trim parts of a vehicle. Cerakote can be applied to a range of substrates including plastic and metal trim, interior and exterior hardware, and even over primed and pretreated parts. Cerakote can protect surfaces from UV, weathering, and whatever the road may throw at you.

The problem with an air box is it’s gonna flex and vibrate and will probably crack. Fenders and shrouds do hold up decently. I’ve done it a couple times.
Seems plastics and polymers are suitable if it made it into there training manual.....
Not sure if this is the latest or greatest but here is the manual I pulled the page from above if anyone wants to dive in deeper.
Why would you do that?! Is something wrong with the stock KX450 airbox? You don't like the stock color? You have extra time and money you don't mind losing?
edit: I just read your last post above as I was writing this....so you are worried about it's durability and you don't like the color? I'm sure the durability is just fine...so, If the time and money are worth changing the color, I say go for it.
Personally, I'd just live with the color and get another set of tires or chain and sprockets for it.

You don’t have to bake all of them.
Cerakote is a ceramic coating. If it flexes, it will crack.
Fortunately this product covers very quickly. Great for firearms since it covers with very little product used.
I just shot with black engine cases, all bolts for engine, cylinder, head, right side outer case and left side plastic outside cover. I used less than 4 oz of material.
I have used the H series on plastic many times. I oven cure in a heat box I made at 150-180.
I used a adhesion promoter on my plastic purchased from automotive paint supply.
I recently sprayed my CR 250 92 air box white.
On the thin plastic areas the paint did indeed flake .
Surprisingly it is still intact on the side which faces the rear tire. But I sanded this area very well since it shows.
So far I would do it again. And I will with an 86 air box going black.
I cannot speak for the air dry product.
If it adheres as well as the oven cure I would be surprised. The air dry you do not use a hardener as an additive.
It comes ready to spray.
I have sprayed their air dry clear and was not impressed with the adhesion.
