First off, I've not tried it.  However, I've checked with several companies
that publish literature stating it's ability to withstand some pretty high
temps.  It sounds good but can anyone tell me the temperature that it would
have to withstand.

On the plus side, I've seen an exhaust system coated with it.  I thought it
was made of pewter!  That one was done by a company in the Sacramento area.

Various manufacturer's literature state that it is easy to apply; it "can be
as easy as soaking a rag and dragging it through the pipe using a wire."
....  "Enough to do your entire exhaust is under $100."

BUT....

Has anyone tried it on a rotary?  And how hot does a rotary get under
worst-case situations?

The rotary exhaust temperature can run up to 1700 F. Maybe more with a
turbo.
