They will dull off, but some good old wheel polish brings the colour up nicely.

Here is a link with their details: http://www.hpcoatings.com.au/pages/contac

You needs to keep that energy IN the pipe, for it to do its job proper. Otherwise wed all be driving around with heat sinks glued to em lol. Its good s*** though, i can run a pass,
