Lightbulb Paint that can reduce heat and increase possible performance?

i was searching the web and found this site that sells paint, the paint is supposed to dramatically reduce tempertures due to its special coatings and increase performance..sounds like a good idea to me..could use it on all metal engine parts that get really hot like headers, exhaust manifolds, pistons etc..could this be a possible mod worth trying and testing? check it out - heres the link.. let me know what everyone thinks..

jet hot and similar coatings have been in use by tons of engine guys both domestic and import for a long time with no drawbacks so far but I wouldn't use it on internal engine parts. Supertech actually has black nitride coated engine parts that work pretty well and stay cool.

You could send your new ATLP J-Pipe and probably see some minor gains from it. We have done all of our race car headers for the last 10 years with it and had good results.
