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!
