KMC does offer a relativly cheap(25$) Stainless steel chain for single speeds which is what i will be trying next.
I suspected that the coating would wear off eventually based on some comments I saw when first considering a rust resistant chain. I ended up getting 5 chains for a total of $15 off ebay so if the coating and chain lasts one winter I'll consider the experiment a success.
