Is the 603 engine's intake manifold painted?

I've been continuing to clean up my poor abused '87 a little bit at a time. The valve cover is starting to respond to #0000 steel wool and Mother's Aluminum and Mag Wheel polish and will eventually look pretty good. However, the crossover pipe and intake manifold look crummy, as you can see, and I think that they must have been painted at the factory. Can anyone confirm that, have pictures of what it is supposed to look like, knows what paint to use?
