Black ceramic coating on the headers.
Black thermal barrier on the intake manifold.
Paint the frame cover GPW so it disappears.
Use vinyl dye instead of paint on the reservoir caps.
Paint might chip off the radiator supports, so you may need black anodized ones later on.
I look forward to seeing how your project comes out.
