JetHot Coating an engine block?

Has anyone done this? Would it flake off? There is a company local to me that does a similar type of coating, and I was wondering if it would work? Would it cause the block to get too hot, since it is designed to keep heat in? It sure would look nice! Thanks guys!

You could have it powdercoated, but you want the engine to disappate heat, not retain the heat.
