Does anyone have experience with Cerakote?

Viking Performance Coatings is testing it as a bottom finish for boats. The claim is that the surface is so hard and slick, critters can't hold on past about 4-5 knots.

I'm thinking about using it instead of bottom paint ...

http://www.ceram-kote.com/ I believe that the USCG 47' MLB have used Ceram-Kote instead of bottom paint.
