In another life I worked in a boiler plant for a Hospital. We used a latex paint that had ceramic beads in it to paint the inside doors of the boilers and the outside of the preheat tanks. The tanks were just steel tanks running at as close to 212* as you can get atmospheric and you could put your hand on the outside of the tank without burning it. The tiny ceramic beads were teriffic insulators. It didn't look very good as it was kind of rough but I bet it would really keep the heat in the pipes. Mix the beads with some sort of really high temp paint and it might allow getting rid of heat shield. 20 years ago stuff was about $50 a gallon. Don't know what it would be now. Just a thought.....
