..You can just adhere the enamel with some agar and water till it's fired. The problem is getting it even, the heat even and then annealing. 
I've done that sort of repair with brazing rod and a torch...heat gently so the surrounding enamel doesn't crack and flake off and just sort of slide the bit of liquid bronze under the edges of the enamel. It's possible to use a dinky tip and keep the disturbance small.
I have a big bunch of old ( 50 year old?) powdered enamels in assorted jars and containers, but the labels have long since faded or fallen off.

Isn't it possible to apply enamel with plasma arc spraying?  I have no
idea what kind of shop would have the gear or what quality of result
you'd get, though.

And aren't there shops supporting the Kustom Kar/hotrod trade that can
enamel cast iron exhaust manifolds?
