suggestions for plenum and runners...

well, seems like my runners were left in the tank overnight which left a streak on them since the fluid didn't completely submerge them, so the shop put a nice dull finish on them for me. that's ok, all good, but of course they now won't match the plenum... so... i'd like to stay with the natural look or maybe something that is kinda' metallic looking. any suggestions? and what kind of (most likely) paint to use?

paint is ugly why not just buff it up for a shine?
