   I used some stuff once that seemed to work really well.  I got it at
K-Mart or Wal-Mart, I forget which, in the auto paint section.  It was
made by Krylon, if memory serves, and was billed as a ceramic exhaust
header paint.  I wish I could be more specific but it's been a long
time.  I was skeptical but it stuck really well to a set of VW Bus
headers and heater boxes, even though my surface prep wasn't very good.
  I didn't bake it.
