AMS Manifold Coating

I recenly got my AMS manifold coated black and I kinda dislike the color on it. How much is to get it ceramic coated? I have a AMS 35r Kit on my car and I would like to see how much AMS would charge to get this mani coated silver like in the pic below.

I believe they stopped doing the ceramic coating because it wouldnt stick to the material after some mileage. But I coult be wrong

Best comment in this thread but you still need to get off whatever coating is on there at the moment

Swain or http://www.performancecoatings.com/

Perf Coatings will actually coat the inside and outside unlike Swain I believe. I've sent 3-4 headers there and about the same number of downpipes and none are cracking or flaking after 20k+ miles of use.

I have a manifold done by Perf Coating aswell and have seen no flaking so far, but I am still in the early stages. They did the inside and out for me aswell. I will let you guys know if I have any flaking issues.
