As a cheap alternative to buying those chrome Rivco exhaust port covers, I took my manifold off last year and spray-painted it with High Temp (1500' ) aluminum paint . I let it "cure" over the winter, it stunk when I fired it up in the spring, but so far, it's held up pretty good. I couldn't bear looking at that discolored metalic look that the manifold ports had turned and my previous attempts washed off with hose water! This also matches the engine block more closely. Just FYI :hammer:
