Tony,

That was the goal when I was planning the engine in my Cougar. I have a variety of finishes, but the colors are in the same pallet.

Personally, I would have the intake and valve covers medial blasted to give them a soft look and maybe even have them hard anodized. One issue with anodizing is that the base metal and the weld may take the anodizing differently which will result in an inconsistent finish. Although it might actually look cool and accentuate the welds. Food for thought.
