Ceramic Coatings Impact on Color?

[Cap10Alden]

I have searched numerous sites for an answer and am hoping someone here may be able to add to the discussion, but can you change the tint/hue of the manufacturer color through the process of ceramic coating. I know there are ceramic tints for windows, but are there ceramic coatings for the body of the vehicle that contain a tint? I really like the pictures of the Carbonized Gray when it appears to have a darker hue and will be having my Bronco stripped and ceramic coated right after delivery.

Besides the obvious of protecting the finish, it will bring out the depth of the color not change it.

Even if someone did make a tinted coating, I'd be concerned with how it ages and wears off. I can see it looking terrible after 2+ years which would prompt you to do it again early, kinda negating the longevity.

I think a quality application will last more than a couple of years. But my son's Mercedes ceramic coating started to fail after about 4 and looked absolutely horrible when freshly washed. Patches were coated and other places not. The worst part was there was nothing we could realistically do for it at that point. He ended up trading it not because of the paint though. Now it's somebody else's problem. For something I plan on keeping till the wheels fall off, what happens years down line line does matter to me. It it were a 2-4yr lease, different story.
