We had the exhaust pipes coated in the US (regular Rotax 914 pipes).
Nice black coating, looks great when new. After 120 hours, the look is
still correct, but some scales are peeling off in some area.
200 F seems somewhat optimistic to me.
Considering physics, it sure should improve temperatures a bit, but the
pipes still run dull red when running up at night, and I would not rely
on it to significantly reduce cowl temps.
FWIW,
