DIY Ceramic Header Coating

Anybody tried Eastwood's do-it-yourself- ceramic coatings for headers and exhausts? I sent away for it and they sent me a 4 Oz can of this stuff. Is that enough to coat a set of SBC Heddman hedders? Headers are temporarily off the 350 V8 in my '71 GMC Jimmy. They are used -- ran on the same engine for about 9 years already --worked good. I'm going to airbrush on this ceramic stuff [thinly, I guess], let it dry 24 hours, then bake the pair of headers in an old electric range @ 500*F for 1 hour. After they've cooled, I intend on wrapping them with this tan [called "white"] hotrod shop 2" hi-temp tape. Hoping my starter/solenoid won't cook off anymore.
