I’ve got all these brand new pretty aluminum parts collected for my build (heads, intake, timing cover, water pump) and I want them to stay looking good and easy to clean. I do love the look of Pontiac silver/blue under the hood but maybe “au naturale” is easier in the long run? Thoughts?

When I had my edelbrock heads painted pontiac blue, the color did not change or burn off the exhaust ports the whole time I had them on the car.
