Adam is looking for a ceramic sealant, not an insulator. BTW, I thought you were done with lowers??? :P
Regarding a high-temp ceramic heat management coating I've had okay luck with Jet Hot, but their coatings will discolor with extreme exhaust heat and they are not a good thermal barrier. The only one I've found that holds up extremely well and acts a functional thermal barrier is Swain Tech. It's not real pretty stuff (a thick white rough coating), but it's extremely functional and durable. I trashed everybody else's coating that I tried on the headers of my TT Viper. When a customer of mine (NASA) suggested I try Swain Tech I was skeptical, but to this day that's the only coating I've found that still pretty much looks like it did the day it was done. Not to mention the under-hood temps dropped significantly. You can even brush your hand against the headers and not get burnt... this stuff is the real deal!

Edit: The ST coating you want to use on exhaust is their "White Lightning (TBC-EX)"

Wilson is using some sort of clear ceramic coating (that looks like regular clear coat) and feels slick like graphite. This is from a write up I found:
"Once the drives are refined, Wilson Custom Marine offers a ceramic coating that will keep the drive finish clean for two years for $250 per drive."

Don't know what the ceramic coating is that Wilson sprays, but it still looks new after two seasons of running. Just wash with mild soap and dry.
