Valve cover and intake colors

[svo85]

Anyone know the colors for the 86 era intake manifold and valve covers? I need to refinish the Saleen's engine bay and can't decide if I want to paint it or powdercoat it.

Suggestions?

Restoration or Modification?

How about bead blasting to clean it up and then your choice of gloss or satin clear?

I was thinking the correct restoration colors. If I could match it closely I would powdecoat them.

On 86 mustangs the upper intake is painted but the lower intake and valve covers are pure aluminum.
