Pics of my motor plates, rotor coating, and turbos
Pics of my Housings after being resurfaced by Paul Yaw at www.Yawpower.com
Also pics of my rotor that I had coated by hpc, and last but not least my turbos that I had coated and rebiult myself (hpc coated)

It is the same coating that is used on John Forces funny car ....HPCoatings.com.....................
HPC offers two coatings for pistons and valves that can be used together separately of each other based on needs and some class regulations in racing. HPC's thermal barrier coating (TBC) is applied to the combustion face of the piston and a wettable solid dry film (SDF) applied to the skirt.
Probably no part of an engine undergoes greater thermal shock than pistons and valves. Yet this has no effect on the bonding properties of HPC's TBC which has the same coefficient of expansion as aluminum. Particulates are bonded with an inorganic binder which is unaffected by petroleum products. With a bond strength of 10,000 psi, this coating's non-porous ceramic matrix improves flame travel and combustion efficiency as well as reduces oil temperature and prevents carbon buildup. HPC's TBC process also prevents excessive heat from
reaching the piston rings reducing radial tension loss due to the ring overheating. Thermal barrier coating is applied to the combustion face of the valve prevents overheating of the exhaust valve and heat transfer from the intake valve to incoming cool air and fuel, thus providing a denser air/fuel charge. The process works equally well on both two-cycle and four-cycle pistons, and is applicable to new and used parts......
Once I get it together and running for a couple of grand after brake in I will check the rotors with a scope to see if they are good, HOC says they will stand up to a large amount of abuse.

I think BATMAN did ceramic coating on the rotors.
The one he has reduce temps by 35%~ from what I have heard.
And I think the near chrome coating is around the 25%~ in heat reduction. However since it's a slicker surface, it makes carbon build-up less likely.

I did my Y pipe, also my upper and lower intake manifolds. For my turbos, y pipe(all three pieces) rear inlet turbo pipe, all heat shields, rotors, water pump hoousing, down pipe, thermostat housing, greddy intake pipes, and other little thing I am about 600.00 bucks into it.
Brake s down close to below (dont quote me , all off the top of my head)but call the coater that you want to use for pricing
I used www.hpcoatings.com
turbos (5 pieces) 188.00
rotor 65.00 each (not done yet just quoted hpc) just coated one side to have paul yaw test
y pipe(3 pieces) 40.00
down pipe (45.00)
inlet pipe 15.00
water pump housing 40.00(not done yet just quoted hpc)
thermo housing 20.00
heat shields(5 pieces) 45.00
greddy pipe(2 pieces) 35.00 (not done yet just quoted hpc)

So does using a good syn oil. I would be surprised if you get 35% cooler running temps. I don't see the need for coating the rotors personally. They can take upto 25 -30 psi before they start to dimple. I guess you got to spend your money somewhere.

Funny that you should mentiona Synthetics.
BATMAN states that he uses Redline throughout.
