unfortunately there is a problem with this. As a machinist I am EXTREMELY familiar with TiN coatings and for your sake stop thinking of it as a coating. It is applied as a heat treatment to steel and cobalt(the main binding material for carbide tools) and requires heating the part to extremely high temperatures. FYI steel parts are coated at temperatures just below the transformation temperature of steel which is usually right around 1200 degrees F.

Edit: also it is an excellent thermal barrier so all the heat from your brakes would be trapped in your calipers so don't do it
