It's all painted, with spray-can heat paint from Canadian-Tire, except for the tops of the valve covers and the plenum. There I took alot of fine wet-sand paper on a wood block to achieve the shine. I then used polishing compound on a towel to finish the bare aluminum. I have a new Rodney Dickman "Fiero GT" decal for the top of the engine.

I used:
-CanadianTire 500+ degree black engine enamel
-CanadianTire 1200 or 1400 degree aluminum manifold paint
-Canadian Tire "Ford Engine Block Red" (don't flame me) 500+ degree engine enamel for the valve covers and plenum.

I used the "Ford-like" Color because it was VERY close to the factory orange/red, and all I could get in a GM color was red or orange.

doesn't matter to me if it's ford or not, it looks good.

do they have metallic engine paints available?

I'm not sure if they have metallic paints or not. For some reason I think they might have silver and gold. I know they have metallic rim paint, but that wouldn't withstand heat very well.

Heres the good stuff.

I think it's DuPont. But someone has a new rattlecan spray paint to match a few anodizing colors. Looks pretty good to
