Somehow I doubt that will occur.

It's great to see the bits come back as new again, there is now a lacquer on the market that is an etch lacquer for aluminium, it doesn't flake off and keeps the shine, have a chat with your local paint seller. I have some in aerosol that my man made up, he added a bit of matting agent to tone down the gloss, it's one of the things I'm doing to my ZT bits.

I'd be interested to know a bit more. Any brand details?

I'll get the details for you, I just got a blank can with the shop label on, I'll find out the manufacturer.
