This is 4 months after painting the manifolds. The shine is gone but the color is still there.

Is there even a product out there that keeps its shine?

Most of the Ceramic coatings that are used by header manufacturers is thermally sprayed on at high temperatures.
The coating on my TOG'* has held up well, with no failures, over the last 4 years.
They were coated with a duller aluminum oxide.
The newer coatings can be infused with chromium oxide to improve the shine.
Unless a true metallic coating is used, it'* difficult if not impossible for a paint to last at +800 F
The paints that say they can withstand 1200 F can only do so for a short period of time, and that doesn't mean they won't change color.

And my black satin looks exactly like the day it went on. I just gave recent pics to Pete before he ordered his.
Ceramic paint off the shelf in a rattle can will NOT hold up. Been there, done that.
