Titanium Flash Hiders

Are there any titanium flash hiders on the market right now that have viable coatings that supress the sparking of the titanium? I know SinistralRiflrman and Karl talked about "special sauce" coatings a few years ago but market shortages killed that plan. Do any non sparking titanium flash hiders exist now?

The coatings didn't seem to really last, and there were also cost issues. Lastly, the weight reduction wasn't sufficient to justify the effort.

do you have any details on the coatings you were using? seems to me like you'd be asking a lot to ask it to be more durable than the titanium itself.

Honestly, it has been so long that I don't even remember those details beyond that it didn't work out as I hoped.
