I left my Denis Welch standard road head bare aluminium. Never got round to painting it.

To those who have fitted AL cylinder heads: Did you leave the head
unpainted or clear-coated to show that it is an AL head or did you paint it
to match the engine?

Do not paint/clear coat/powder coat at all. It does not stick to well on 
aluminium. An unfinished aluminium head will dissipate heat better and 
looks much nicer.

 I painted mine with the engine Block. So its very hard to see its an 
aluminium head. I used a two pack primer. This was done more than 10 years 
ago and its still immaculate.
