isn't ceramic coat normally used on the inside of pipes that are exposed to high temperature?
I would have thought for the purpose you describe, powder coating or paint would be a better bet.

Without a doubt, ceramic coating. It will help keep the air temps down. Ceramic coating will help performance and look good. Powder coating only looks good

Save your money, Ceramic coating is simply not necessary on IC pipework.

If you do a back to back test, you'll not notice any difference and you'll wonder why you wasted all that money!!

Just powdercoat them, they'll look better and perform equally as well.
