No there isn't a paint brush that I know of that won't burn or get stuck to the powder paint with that high of a concentration of heat. The paint brush method is mainly used to sprinkle on powder paint in multiple colors to get an effect you want.
As far as tape go, I have used high temp tape for many things and it will not give you clean lines, because the tape has to stick to the jig. As soon as you heat the jig with the tape on, the tape un-adheres because the high temperature of heat. There are other ways to achieve lines and color blends. Permnent markers, vinyl tape, and electrical tape. To name a few.
