Alrightythen.....Ill try to contribute something usefull.

Ive had good luck dealing with hot hand guards with Silver Ceramic header paint from the auto parts store. You remove the hand guard and tape the outside completely. Spray or brush (I find brushing best) several coats on the inside of the hand guard then re install it. I do it to all the hand guards I install and it makes a noticeable difference.

Tip: Spray the can into a appropriately sized disposable paint cup until you have a suitable amount to dip your brush in. Then dip your brush and paint away.....any extra that seeps onto the outside can easily be removed with lacquer thinner after you un-tape it.

Now that's an interesting idea....I have a certificate from Jet Hot coatings to ceramic coat a set of headers. I wonder if they would coat the inside of 3 or 4 hand guards instead?
