I think the "crackle" finish on mine helps dissipate some of the heat, which is why it isn't really that bad in the summer.
Unfortunately, considering the shift knob is basically a solid block of metal, no amount of coating will help get rid of the cold when it dips down to the minus double digits like it routinely does here in good ol' Ontario. Yes, it gets cold as a bastard in the winter, but again I've learned to live with it.
I just make damn sure not to have ANY moisture on my hand before touching my shift knob on an ice cold morning, or else I'll leave my fingerprints behind...
