Default White header coating

For those of you in the know, what method / vendor did you use to coat your headers in white? I stopped at Aesthetic Finishers this week and was told they do not do white on headers any more because too many customers complained about the durability. I'm looking for something that won't discolor from the heat.

I'd go black if you want it to last the miles. White tends to just disappear in spots revealing the undercoat. It happens in odd places, maybe due to contaminants but not sure. It also can stain. I've got a set with maybe 50 miles and they have blems, another was done with vht in a powdercoat oven in 3 stages and is holding up as well as the ceramic. White is neat when fresh but most pros will tell you it's just not going to look new in 5 years.

The original White headers were ceramic coated, which stained.
I believe that JetHot offers a White coating now which doesn't stain.

They did my last set, it was a little pricey because I wanted white, other colors were much cheapers

Will the white CPC Coating hold up though after some use? Haven't seen or heard of white coating holding up like the usual silver finish.
