Dave,
I was talked out of jet-hot coating my stainless steel exhaust manifold by
my restoration shop years ago when we restored the TR6 ( the shop owner claimed
that the ceramic would crack and yellow over time). The price was very
reasonable and I knew that the quality was good plus the ceramic would provide
long lasting appearance and "run" cooler. Instead I used a high temp exhaust
paint from Eastwood. It looks okay after 5 years but just doesn't compare to
what a nice jet-hot would have looked like. I would say go for it!
