    The fact is aluminum oxidizes, and it gets dull pretty fast. I brightened up my 502 heads with some aluminum cleaner but manifolds start looking crappy in a couple of years imo. Paint is easy to take care of.

    Besides the oxidation, cast parts are not smooth get really hard to clean after they get dirty.
