Are there any methods for finishing the stainless Termi header pipes in black?  Something that will be durable?

I plan on having my pipes ceramic coated in satin black. These are couple of the popular shops:

I used these guys 2 years ago and the finish is still top notch. Price and turn around time were absolutely great too

on my other bike, i put some high temp paint, and it needed to cure (i hour of riding), so i installed everything (headers and midpipe leading to muffler) and rode for an hour.
after it cooled off, i whiped it down and it left a nice semi flat matte look on it.
rode for 6k miles, rocks chips and such didnt bother it, not did my shoes kicking it.

I used Duplicolor Low gloss engine enamel on my pipes and it held up freat (for about 100miles) before it started to chip/flake/etc.. Now I have to re-apply every once in awhile but overall it looks like ass. I am going to do a new exhaust (and have it professionally coated) so I am not too worried about it..
