Asa,
You would mask off the areas you don't want coated.

How about ceramic coating the intake?
What about the heads? Could a cylinder head be ceramic coated and
then machined for all the stuff to go on? Interesting idea?

Good news: it won't stain. Easy to shine up. More resistant to scratches and dings. Bad news: Cost is $215 (full pro polishing is $600, locally) and final appearance depends on how smooth the metal finish is going into the coating process. FWIW.
