yes, it'll stay on. if you follow the directions and put the painted piece in the oven at like 500 for 3 hrs or whatever it says it'll bake on. We have blue on a stock manifold on the turbo car and it's good to go. It did change color somewhat, became more chalky blue than the original dark blue but it looks great. For the time and trouble, I'd get it hpc coated at a powdercoating place. they have any color you want and it helps with flow too. hope this helps
