Hey guys, I really like valve covers painted/powdercoated white, but I wonder if white fades, or become yellowish with time and temperatures?

I've seen white powdercoated wheels that have turned yellowish with time and temperature, thats why I'm wondering if this can happen to valve cover.

Anyway thanks for input!

My valve cover on my IX-MR is powdercoated, with hydrographics, and is 2-3 years old, and NO signs of yellowing, or fading. (on the bottom right corner by the skull is a reflection of the gold heat barrier tape on the inside hood)
