I have used high temp paint in the past and it holds up really well and
like John said, can easily be touched up. I have pictures of 2 motors I
have done this way if you want to see them.

I've never heard of any actual damage done as a result of powder coated cylinders, although I wouldn't be in a position to see it (I'm not a real mechanic or anything). The actual powder coating process shouldn't hurt the cylinders, they probably get hotter in actual use. I'd consider a high temp paint, you can easily touch it up from time to time with a rattle can.
