It depends on the makeup of the item and how the finish has been applied. If plated, then it will fade regardless of lacquering treatment. If powder coated, then it should last better assuming they don't chip.
A water softener improves the longevity of the finish but can't be used for drinking water locations.

What's the deal with London water and trendy black taps and shower heads etc? Does it look great for the first year and then deteriorates quite quickly and the black potentially wears off?
