I had aluminized the exhaust mainfolds on a 55 chevy I used to have. It looked great until one drop of oil toched it, dirty forever after then. Then your not so perfectly clean hand reaches in to change a sparkplug and a little smudge gets on them, that stays forever too. Maybe if I had cleaned them off with brake cleaner before allowing them to get above room temperature, but the oil drop hit them while hot.
