If you don't get a response by tonight, I'd post this in the Race secton as they are more apt to be using coatings on pistons and other internal parts.

Back in the day when I was "throwing" lots of money at my different engine combinations we used to coat the piston skirts and the dome. Did I notice a difference, No. But all the tech material indicates a positive approach.

Thermal Barriers
In theory, heat management offers great potential for improving an engine's power output. Often, ceramic-based thermal-barrier coatings (TBCs) are used to reduce heat migration, reflecting heat rather than absorbing it. They may be applied to piston-top surfaces and top ring grooves, combustion chambers, exhaust-valve heads and faces, exhaust manifolds and headers, and inside exhaust ports.
