Does anyone have any experience with the new ceramic house paint?

Other than thinking it's snake oil, no. But I could be wrong.

Not many of us have a ceramic house. (:-))

How can there be a ceramic house paint? Ceramic is a high temperature
fired product.

No personal experience. Only that it's based on borosilicates - hollow
"ceramic" [sorta] spheres that make great insulators. Used on the
shuttle for hi temp re-entries. The local utility used to offer rebates
on it here but no longer, since they dropped demand side rebates

. It worked but is super expensive. If you ever tour Cape Canaveral
they do a great exhibition where they blast a white brick of
borosilicate (heat shield tile) with a blow torch till glowing hot, then
offer it to someone to touch. Naturally the visitor refuses so the NASA
person touches it himnself with no burn of course since the heat was
radiated faster than you can imagine.

This may be a stupid question...but what about insulating properties? Would
that kind of paint keep the hot air outside during the summer and the cold air
out during winter? Or have no effect at all?

That link is not to any ceramic paint, it's latex!

Nothing insulates well in a paint-thin layer.

Attaching insulation to a house by painting it on is absurdly expensive for
the insulating value.
