For about $30...you can do the Harley wrinkle black. $8 for some sandpaper/scour pads, $2 for some denatured alcohol, ~$20 for Harley wrinkle black rattle can. Simple and will match your cylinders. Powdercoating will look different if the heads and cylinders aren't powdercoated with the same material.

VHT will not last long and is very easy to mar.
