ceramic coating

If I ceramic coat a manifold to a silver color will it fade over time? Does anyone have a pic of how it will look after some time so I can get an idea how it looks?
This manifold has a ceramic coating on it correct?

It doesn't really "Fade" but it yellows a bit like stainless after awhile on a turbo car.. Also depending on the coating (1500 degree) it might begin flaking off after repeated dyno runs or high temp runs.. 2000 degree coating won't discolor or flake off if prepared correctly, but its not a high-gloss coating either..

I do have a supercharged car with Ceramicoated headers (no turbo and high heat from the turbo) which has actuall retained its glossy luster for almost 6 years...

Get Swain Coating Ceramic Coating it is the best. I had it on my my SE-R Turbo and the reduction of heat was very noticible compared to a non coated turbo manifold.
