The GT500 valve cover was cork and was covered with a silver color sealer. Aluma blast non smudge aluminum paint that Eastwood sells works great. Don't forget the the triangle shaped tabs that were on the factory gaskets. Modern gaskets typically don't have the tabs  (they were for the cutouts in the factory sheetmetal valve covers ) or don't have enough you may have to make some out of extra cork and glue them on to complete the look. All should be silver.
