I've had my car for almost four years and the builder had painted the pipes with flat white paint. Over that time, they had become a bit grungy from paint "erosion", but no peeling. I've refreshed them only a couple of times using flat white VHT paint in a rattle can (can't remember the brand) from an auto parts store.

I just mask off the body with newspapers taped to it and spray it on. I think the curing process was to spray it on, warm up the pipes some, let them cool, and then drive normally. It's simple, cheap (~$10 a can which is enough for 2-3 applications), and it works. I just can's see spending several hundred $ for ceramic coating.
