It is a pity Armourtex don't own a telephone, otherwise you could have simply asked them.
;P
The answer is unfortunately 'no', Armourtex won't (can't) powdercoat carbon, although it is possible to have it done elsewhere, it is rather specialized, costs a little more and there is no guarantee that your forks won't be negatively affected - (you will usually have to sign something to the effect of: I understand my forks may be damaged).
It has a lot to do with having to bake the powdercoated item at a couple of hundred degrees and carbon delaminating.
Carbon forks can be re-sprayed to a very high quality finish fairly easily.
