I used Eastwood's engine paint, and even though the heads are aluminum the centre exhaust port area is just starting to get darker. I attribute this to the Eastwood product, as many has complained that it is affected by heat at lower temperatures than they advertise.

In my case, the slightly darker exhaust area actually helps the "sleeper" factor as that is what usually happens with cast iron heads.
