i've done it on my car. numerous times now 
i found the ceramic coating to be the least durable and looked awful in short amount of time.
i've had them powdercoated (high temp) three times now. they are already starting to turn to crap on me. between the intense heat and the road debris, it just doesn't hold up.
if i get some new tips at some point, i will probably have them black chromed. it's expensive, but much more durable.

P.S.Funny cause when I checked all the guys at the powder coating shops said ceramic coating will withstand the heat so now you have confused me.
