I, too am a fan of lenscoats; for a while I bought the camouflage versions, but have gradually switched to black with new purchases. I think large black lenses garner less attention than either white or camouflage ones. Since I'm not out in the sun for long periods - no sidelines or baseball shoots - the usual "overheating" that white paint is supposed to prevent doesn't apply...
I actually prefer the feel of the warm softness of the lens coat to the cool metal of the unadorned lens; while driving, I often have my hand resting on whatever lens is occupying the passenger seat next to me...
I know how creepy/weird that sounds, but it's true!
I recently sold a 400 and a 300mm lens, and it was quite pleasant to peel off the cover and reveal all that pristine, untouched white paint underneath. And it definitely affected the price...
