I heard of a place called HPC (High Performance Coatings), I think they
do a ceramic coating on exhaust headers/pipes that the racers use to
keep heat out of the engine bay.  I'm thinking about using it in my
installation.

We have used this service for years with good results.
Have also applied it to tops of pistons.

Could you have this applied to the face of the rotors?  I'm assuming the
coating acts like an insulator and further assuming that this will
reduce the amount of heat you will have to dissipate with the oil
cooling the rotors.

We discussed this too a while back.
I think the consensus on here was; it don't help much as it is not
thick enough. Perhaps Archie can tell us what it does for a 
piston engine.
