the valve covers and intake elbow are aluminum I seen a guy use a tiger paw on a grinder and took the paint off and had them polished looked pretty nice. I painted mine a prowler green and flat black looks awesome

I would bead blast them then take them down with some fine grit sand paper. once you get them smooth start polishing them with some polishing compound on a buffer.
