High heat ceramic coatings are generally water-based. In that sense there could be no grease or oil on the substrate, so usually the pieces are baked at high heat to bleed the oils out. For example, cast-iron is very porous so it is very important to remove the oils. For a do-it-yourselfer, a propane torch works well for this. Ceramic coatings need a toothy surface for it to adhere properly. Aluminum oxide blast or garnet sand is recommended. You can also use 80 grit sandpaper to rough up the surface. To sum up, ALL RUST AND OILS must be removed prior to application.

A good film build prevents rust bleeding through. Mastercoat Hot Jet line of coatings will lower the surface temperature and provide a hard durable surface.
